Elon Musk is a super high achiever. He has multiple companies.
Tesla - electric car company
SpaceX - Spaceflight company
Boring company- Tunneling company
SolarCity - Solar panel and rechargeable lithium ion battery company
Neuralink - Neuroscience company
A recently email from him to his 37, 000 Tesla employees shows his productivity tips for success.
1. Get rid of all large meetings (unless they provide value to the whole audience, in which case, keep them very short) and all frequent meetings.
2. Meetings should be infrequent unless a matter is urgent.
3.Drop off a call/meeting as soon as it is obvious you aren't adding value.
It is not rude to leave. It is rude to make someone stay and waste their time.
4.Avoid acronyms or jargon.
Anything that requires explanation inhibits communication.
5. Don't let hierarchical structures make things less efficient - Cut out the middle-man.
Communication should follow the shortest path. Bypass the managers and go straight to the person doing the work.
6.Don't follow rules, follow logic.
How many of these do you do? How many of these can you start to implement today?
