Jeff Bezos characterizes himself as a thoughtful leader, and it comes down to how he makes decisions.
“If I make, like, three good decisions a day, that’s enough,” Bezos said in a September 2018 conversation with Carlyle Group cofounder and Economic Club of Washington president David Rubenstein. “And they should just be as high a quality as I can make them.”
It’s an idea he borrowed from former Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett, Bezos said.
“Warren Buffett says he’s good if he makes three good decisions a year,” Bezos said. “And so, you know, so I really believe that.”
The Amazon founder and the world’s fourth-richest man said this logic comes down to what a senior leader is actually there for.
