Bezos’s Two Pizza Rule

(Extracted from an article by Janet Choi published on Buffer)

According to Bezos, the ideal is the “two pizza team:” if a team couldn’t be fed with two pizzas, it was too big.

Social loafing is a feedback problem. Latané and his colleagues explained that:

when groups get larger, you experience less social pressure and feel less responsibility because your performance becomes difficult, or even impossible, to correctly assess amidst a crowd. It’s no wonder that when credit and blame get harder to assign, you start to feel disconnected from your job.
