>"communication is terrible"

My company has brought in a lot of Amazon people and ideas, but unfortunately we go this one backwards. "Communication is great." Managers are explicitly encouraged to structure projects to maximize cross-team and cross-org meeting hours.

It is quite common to get communication wrong, even inside Amazon. It leads to design by committee, slow decision making, and increase team dependencies.

I would love to hear your experience adopting Amazon mechanisms.

Disclaimer: I work at Amazon. I help customers to adopt some of those mechanisms.
