Elon Musk's Six Rules for Tesla Employees

[Kingjay]

As someone who is literally about to spend the next 4 hours of my life trapped in meetings I 100% agree with this. I’ve got a million deadlines and I lose half my day.

When I saw the thumbnail I was expecting the rules to be pure insanity but like damn my job needs those rules. The amount of times I’ve been brought to a meeting for something that has nothing to do with my department is ridiculous

[Atech]

as an employee of a huge corporate company I absolutely agree with Elons "principles/rules" and I wish we could guide according to them.

As a software engineer myself, this is spot on. Meetings destroy productivity and are definite time killers. I wish more companies followed these rules lol

This man got almost a million views in 17 hours by repeating a tweet smfh genius

I worked in a hospital for 40 years... the majority of our meeting were held STANDING UP... in this way, we said and discussed things QUICKLY and EFFICIENTLY and moved on ... :) ...

[mattiegeezus]

Even as a government employee, this is spot on.

[marsgizmo]

Trying a lot of methods over many years, I fully agree with all these points!
I use them regularly and they're getting me great results.

Based on all my years of experience in corporations and companies, those rules are spot on. Meetings by and large are the number one time wasters at a company and most are pointless.

[Laplace]

When the first rule was avoid large meetings I thought it was going to be some anti-union bs but that actually sounds like a pretty good set of rules to live by in the workspace.

These are actual good rules. Corporate structure and processes are usually so inefficient. It doesn't hurt to trim down the fat and make room for only useful stuff.

I was waiting for the one or two rules to disagree on, but these are excellent rules!
I'm fortunate to work in a small team of software devs where our team lead uses the same rules: when the subject is not applicable to you or you have more urgent prio's : drop the call.
Yes, we we tend to do most on Teams, not in person. Additional benefit: prep-time is minutes, there is no closing laptop/ workstation, go to meeting room, take notepad and pen

I was in a job at one point where our Wednesday staff meeting:
-was 5 hours long,
-if on staff, you were expected to be there
- you must attend and stay whether or not you had anything to contribute
-You were empowered only if you did what you were told to do
-Every vocalised idea was met with, "Good. But..."
-You never knew if you were going to be singled out and made example of for sake of the "owner" making his authority known.
I don't work there any more.

Agree with all the rules, but always liked Gary Vee’s outlook the most… “Don’t ever expect your employees to care as much as you do, unless they have equal shares in the company” 🙌

The worst thing is getting pulled out of your work for a meeting that doesn't require your presence, but they think you should "listen in". This completely breaks workflow and almost puts you back to the beginning of what you were doing when you were pulled away from your work!

I worked at Tesla for 4+ years and I cover a lot of this on my channel. These rules work folks. I’ve never seen a more productive, inspired, and hard working group of folks in my life. And it was INCREDIBLY rewarding.

[lookcheckthisout]

This video was clear, precise and understandable.

[DonutOperator]

I wish they used these rules in the military.

[RippanYT]

as a software engineer I've used these rules just like many others for years. 95% of all big meetings could just be a email, its such a waste of time and cost the company a lot in cash.
We have gotten our stands-ups down to 5 minutes now, its great. I also love that in my company, the busy icon in teams means something... you gonna disturb me? It better be very important.
