Expectation of Clarity and Accountability
In this podcast episode, three emails sent by Elon Musk to Tesla employees are discussed. The first email emphasizes the importance of clear communication and accountability within the organization. Elon sets the expectation that managers have three options when receiving explicit directions from him: explain why he is incorrect, request clarification, or execute the directions. Failure to take any of these actions can result in immediate resignation. While some may view Elon's approach as harsh, it ensures clarity and minimizes ambiguity, promoting efficient progress and teamwork within the company.
