Elon Musk on Leadership

“Some people don't like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.”

“I don't believe in process. In fact, when I interview a potential employee and he or she says that 'it's all about the process,' I see that as a bad sign. The problem is that at a lot of big companies, process becomes a substitute for thinking. You're encouraged to behave like a little gear in a complex machine. Frankly, it allows you to keep people who aren't that smart, who aren't that creative.”

“I've actually not read any books on time management.”

“I think it is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary.”

“It's OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.”

“No, I don't ever give up. I'd have to be dead or completely incapacitated”

“You should take the approach that you’re wrong. Your goal is to be less wrong.”
