How can Bezos' meeting technique be applied to limit meetings to the most important topics?

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, uses a unique meeting technique known as the 'two pizza rule'. The idea is to limit the size of the meeting to the number of people that can be fed by two pizzas. This encourages efficiency as smaller groups tend to make decisions more quickly and waste less time. To apply this to limit meetings to the most important topics, you could ensure that only key personnel are invited to the meeting, and the agenda is strictly adhered to. This would help to keep the meeting focused and prevent it from becoming sidetracked by less important issues.

Question was asked on:

To plan your week, you can use a weekly plan to focus your attention like Bezos. Highlight your top four most important tasks on each given day along with the associated time you plan to work on each. You can apply Bezos' meeting technique to limit meetings only to the most important topics. (Slide 18)
