Jeff Bezos on Writing Memos at Amazon

Amazon's 6-page memos, called "narratives," follow this structure: • Introduction • Goals • Tenets • Current state • Lessons learned • Strategy Meeting attendees get 20 minutes to read the memo in silence before discussion. Here are Bezos' 6 rules for great memos: • less than 30 words per sentence • Replace adjectives with data • Use the "So What?" test • No "weasel words" i.e. "nearly" or "significantly" • Use subject-verb-object sentences • Avoid jargon and acronyms and clutter words. Great memos take time - maybe as much as a week. via Jeff Bezos
