If two pizzas aren't enough to feed a team, it's too big.
Amazon's Jeff Bezos Feeds Innovation with Two-Pizza Teams
A mazon.com's founder and CEO Jeff Bezos is one of America's top businesspersons and a technology visionary. He's also a great fan of teams. Bezos coined a simple rule when it comes to sizing the firm's product development teams: If two pizzas aren't enough to feed a team, it's too big.
Don't expect to spot a stereotyped corporate CEO in Jeff Bezos. His standard office attire is still blue jeans and a blue-collared shirt. But, this attire comes with a unique personality and a great business mind. If you go to Amazon.com and click on the "Gold Box" at the top, you'll be tuning in to Bezos's vision. It's a place for special deals, lasting only an hour and offering everything from a power tool to a new pair of shoes. If you join Amazon Prime and "One-Click" your way to free shipping and a hassle-free checkout, you're benefiting from his vision as well. And, of course, there's also the Kindle. Not only has it become Amazon's best-selling product ever, but it also made electronic books an everyday reality-one that competitors have been racing to take advantage of.
Amazon's innovations don't just come out of the blue. They're part and parcel of the management philosophy Bezos has instilled at the firm. And teams are a central ingredient in the innovation process. Bezos calls Amazon's small two-pizza teams "innovation engines," betting that they'll help fight creeping bureaucracy as the company grows larger and more complex.
