Amazon Insights : Remote Teams Should NOT Communicate

From the big man himself, after junior execs suggested ways to improve communication :

"I understand what you are saying, but you are totally wrong. Communication is a sign of dysfunction. It means people aren't working together in a close, organic way. We should be trying to figure out a way for teams to communicate less with each other, not more."

"A hierarchy isn't responsive enough to change. I'm still trying to get people to do occasionally what I ask. And if I was successful, maybe we wouldn't have right kind of company."
