👉 Used in Tesla, Space X and now in Twitter.
Elon Musk sent Tesla employees an email with his 6 rules for productivity.
No wonder there was a leak 🙊
⚠ These are the rules:
1 Avoid large meetings
💥 Large meetings waste money precious time and energy.
- They discourage discussion
— People rather reservedthan open
— There is not enough time for everyone to contribute.
Don't plan large meetings unless you are sure everyone will benefit from them.
2 Leave a meeting if you are not contributing to it.
💥 If the meeting does not require your:
— Contribution
— Significance
- Solutions
‼ Your presence is useless. Leaving a meeting is not rude. But it's rude to waste people's time.‼
3 Forget about subordination
💥 Chat with colleagues directly.
Not through bosses or managers.
🔥 Fast communicators make decisions quickly. Quick decisions = competitive advantage🔥
4 Be clear, not smart🤓
💥 Avoid meaningless words and technical jargon.
This slows down communication. Choose these words:
— Brief
— Hitting to the point
— Easy to understand
💥 Don't sound smart. Be efficient.
5 Avoid frequent meetings
💥 There is no better way spend everyone's time than meetings.
Use them to:
- Cooperate
- Resolve issues head-on
— Solve urgent problems
💥 But once you solve the problem, the need for frequent meetings will disappear. Most issues can be resolved without meetings.
👉Instead of meetings:
— Send a message
— Send an email
— Chat on the channel discord or slack. 😆😆😆
Don't interrupt your team's workflow unless necessary.
6 Use common sense
If the company rule Not:
- Makes sense
— Promote progress
— Applicable to your specific situation
Try not to follow the rule with your eyes closed. Don't follow the rules. Follow the principles✨
