A Jassy success formula other leaders can follow 05 Feb 2021 Tribune News Service Andy Jassy, Amazon’s incoming CEO, has a conference room nicknamed the Chop. As Business Insider puts it in a profile of Jassy, “The Chop is where ideas, and sometimes employees, go to get chopped down to size.” Despite the alarming name, I’m not sure Jassy’s meeting management style is anything to be feared. In fact, other leaders could learn something from it. The basic gist seems to be that if you’re going to be meeting with the boss, you’d best be prepared. To this end, employees prepare memos ahead of time instead of trying to wing it. Most of the meeting is spent discussing the contents of the memo, so a lot of preparation goes into it.
