Is there anyone who really likes PowerPoint? I have often wondered if the brainwaves of an audience in PowerPoint\u2019s grip take on a tragic pattern never seen before in the whole history of the miracle of human life.
\nThe only speeches I\u2019ve ever been able to remember were the ones when someone set aside her slides and just started telling stories. I remember Jason Calacanis breaking a piece of chalk while insisting — he was wrong — that markets, not products or teams, are what matter when starting a company. After Plumtree\u2019s big layoff, I remember John Kunze turning off the projector to say he was sorry.
\nAt Redfin, we recently ran a board meeting without slides<\/a>. Or we used slides, but only for the 45 minutes it took to summarize the basic facts of last month\u2019s business: hiring, traffic growth, customer satisfaction, engineering schedule, revenues, earnings. Almost every slide was a number or a graph of a number, which freed us to talk about why <\/em>costs increased faster than headcount, or what we thought of the 12 people we hired last month. We were done with the deck by 9 a.m.
\nAnd then we set aside the slides entirely. As we raised the blinds to begin the rest of the meeting, a panic rose in my throat that I was about to lose control. It felt like having a party without a keg or even a bowl of guacamole for people to stand around. What would we say?
\nMy problem is that I don\u2019t like talking about a problem unless we have a solution. This results in a tendency to manage board conversations as set pieces, where we carefully structure challenges that can be neatly addressed within the allotted time, almost as if we were plotting a sit-com. At some deep level, I’ve long \u00a0felt that the real Redfin was beyond anyone’s ability to help us. I can never encapsulate the messiness of the company — the myriad ways we could fail, my crazed conviction that we won’t, my pride, my embarrassment, my terror — into any one statement, so everything I say seems like an approximation or a simulation of the truth.
\nBut recently at board meetings we\u2019ve dug into problems for which we weren\u2019t sure there was a solution, or where the solution was in dispute. What could we do to drive market-share in Seattle above 5%? Why don\u2019t we have more listings? How can we build our agents\u2019 careers without creating a bloated hierarchy? One executive led the discussion and everybody else participated.
\nWe got ideas I didn\u2019t expect, like Paul Goodrich\u2019s suggestion that we tell our sellers\u2019 how many home-buyers we\u2019re working with in their neighborhood, or James Slavet\u2019s idea of correlating interviewers\u2019 ratings of a new hire with his year-end reviews. It finally felt like we had the board meeting my old boss at Plumtree, John Kunze, once told me were the best kind, where you focus only on one question: what\u2019s really going on in this business?
\nTo answer this question, you have to take it seriously as a question, without jumping to the same conclusions over and over again. This means allowing yourself the time and space for what the poet John Keats called negative capability: “being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts without any irritable reaching after fact & reason.” The modern phrase for negative capability is “awkward silences,” which is sometimes just the sound of everyone thinking.
\nThere were a few awkward silences in our last board meeting, but probably not enough.
\nJust this week, a senior executive at one of the world\u2019s most-admired technology companies asked me about our board meetings. I told him about our heads-up format. Then he told me that his company doesn\u2019t use slides at all, instead relying on the old-fashioned memo.
\n“Whoa,” I said. “How long does that take?”
\n“A long time,” he said, sounding almost proud.
\n“What are we talking about here, like one pa-”
\n“Five pages.”
\nI wondered if he understood the speed at which startups had to move. Meanwhile, he explained that the time it took to write a memo forced the author to think through what she was proposing; the time it took to read guided the meeting\u2019s participants through the same process.
\nIf the meeting participants hadn\u2019t read the memo, the opening twenty minutes of the meeting were set aside for that, just like in a naughty 8th-grade language-arts class. In reading the document through, no one got side-tracked for half an hour on the first slide of a presentation, without ever getting to the main argument. The first words spoken in the meeting would come from the memo\u2019s author: \u201cany questions?\u201d And then the fur would fly.
\nNow I know that long memos are usually a waste of time, salvos in an argument that could be settled quickly face to face, or Bartleby manifestos that nobody has asked for or expects to act on. But the best reason for people to meet is to make a decision, and if the decision is important enough for a whole room full of people to meet, then a memo seems worth the time.
\nThe people you need to pin down the most are the executives. The worst executives are often the best speakers: we are good at sounding good. Why think when you can PowerPoint? You can throw together a presentation the night before. You can issues a series of intelligent-sounding statements, fill in the blanks between your bullets with what people want to hear, nod wisely and defer a decision \u2018til the next meeting. It is a completely provisional format.\u00a0Or you can take a stand, develop a point of view, write it all out and then nail it to the church door.
\nIt’s hard to say whether that will slow us down or speed us up, but it seems worth a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
