Eugene Wei | Founder TacticsElite Performance | Communication | Not Read | Great CEOs create concise and memorable phrases. At their best, they use rhythm and rhyme because those techniques allow people to remember messages with greater accuracy than they would mere prose. Jeff Bezos is a master at this. Day 1: life philosophy & corp governance. The simpler your mantras as a leader, the more influence you can have on decisions, without needing to be in the room. | ||
