我只是不希望他们在和我开会的时候用电子演示文稿。

I just did not want them in meetings with me.

所以我尝试做的一件事就是鼓励人们在和我开会时不要做正式的电子演示文稿。

So one of the things I tried to do was discourage people from doing formal PowerPoint presentations for meetings with me.

大概过了两年吧，我就说，“好了，我通常不喜欢立规矩，但我现在必须定个规矩，和我开会时谁也不能再做电子演示文稿了。”

So about two years in, I said, "OK, I usually hate rules but I now have a rule: no more PowerPoint in my meetings."
