Bezos: A CEO Who Can Write
Business writing suffers from an epidemic of post-fact rationalization. Looking back, it is trivially easy to parse out whether something someone said was “insightful wisdom” or “useless”. I am continually amazed by the scope and depth of this hindsight bias disease.<p>While this author tries to make a point that bezos is a good writer, I am afraid that this is just riding a wave of bezos worship (like Elon worship, Jobs worship, Buffett workship, [‘name successful business person, preferably, billionaire’] worship) — <i>after</i> bezos’ company is seeing good results.<p>I wish more business writing was devoted to 1) suggesting ways so that people have their own original thoughts 2) Discussing merits of strategies <i>before</i> they become successful 3) Discussing problem solving frameworks 4) early days of companies when they weren’t successful etc.  I believe learning about the first 100-300 days of companies would be very instructive. Someone should write a book about that :-)
