When people make fun of my admiration for Elon Musk - here is example No. 203,321 as to why I think Elon is the greatest business leader of our lifetime.

How do your meetings feel? I’ve noticed that when meetings are consistently smooth, polished, rarely tense… it can mean a couple different things. Sometimes it’s trust. Other times it’s that people figured out a while ago that, despite the pretty slogans about...
“When managers or executives are fixated on their team/org. performance metrics, it often breeds unhealthy behaviors in employees. The effects can ultimately compound into a fetid culture and poor #workplaceeffectiveness.” https://t.co/6cwj8cMUdN #leadership #management

Founders: Post-meeting accountability system: 1. Email summary within 1 hour 2. Tag action items with owner 3. Set calendar reminder for follow-up 4. Add tasks to CRM 5. Schedule next touch No deals lost to poor follow through.

DO. FAIL. LEARN. Failure isn’t the end. It’s how we get better. And I’ve had my fair share of it over the years. Startups don’t always succeed, but how you talk about the journey matters. Building a startup is hard, harder...

They destroyed their own product. Then 4x'd revenue. Intercom was stuck at $100M. Basic chat widget. CEO on a 3-year sabbatical. Growth flat. Going nowhere. Then the CEO came back, called a code red, and made the hardest decision in the company's...
