Vision is everything...
In 1965, Singapore was forced a tiny island of 2M people forced out of Malaysia. No army. No resources. No fresh water. Then ONE man's ruthless vision built modern Asia's greatest success... Source: Great post by Oscar Hoole on X

Jeff Bezos built Amazon with one simple rule: “If two pizzas can’t feed the team, it’s too big.”
The Two-Pizza Rule is rooted in Bezos’ belief that small, autonomous teams are more productive than large, bureaucratic ones. - Decision-making is faster. - Communication is clearer. - Accountability is higher. By limiting the size of teams, Bezos ensured that every member contributed meaningfully and avoided the pitfalls of “groupthink” and overcomplexity. Teams are given the freedom to innovate and make decisions without relying on higher-ups for approval. Each team has full responsibility for their product or project, from development to execution. This approach encourages entrepreneurial thinking within the company, treating each team as a mini-startup. The Two-Pizza Rule has directly contributed to Amazon’s success by fostering an innovation-first culture. - Alexa: Developed by a dedicated small team that was given the freedom to experiment. - Amazon Prime: Launched by a focused team tasked with creating a subscription model that would lock in customer loyalty. - AWS (Amazon Web Services): What started as a small internal project turned into Amazon’s most profitable division. The Two-Pizza Rule isn’t just about productivity—it also improves employee satisfaction and engagement. - Smaller groups mean deeper connections and more effective teamwork. - Team members feel more responsible for their outcomes, leading to higher motivation. - Less time is wasted on unnecessary meetings and approvals, leaving more time for innovation. Bezos’ Two-Pizza Rule offers a simple but powerful lesson: less is more. Keep teams small and focused, and give them autonomy to innovate. This approach can help any business, regardless of size, to move faster, think creatively, and achieve more with less. Source: Business Nerd
