LEAKED Elon Musk's 6 tips to get ahead

Elon Musk sent an email to the staff at Tesla with his 6 rules for productivity. Twitter fired about 50% of their workforce or 3 800 employees last week.

On this occasion, Elon Musk points out that there is a need for increasing employees' efficiency by providing them with some guidelines on how they can improve in order not just survive but thrive too!

1) Avoid large meetings

Having a few smaller meetings with people who care than one big meeting where nobody is really listening.

The key thing about large meetings, whether they're called general gatherings or not so much as presentations by their nature and purpose (though some might argue otherwise), is that there will always be some person delivering the content while others just sit back approvingly; but this takes away time from actually engaging in debate--which can happen only if everyone has been allowed full access at least once before then—and instead encourages conservation of energy: we all need our best efforts devoted toward adding value wherever possible rather than wasting them on unimportant matters such as:

• Large meetings waste valuable time and energy

• They discourage debate

• People are more guarded than open

• There’s not enough time for everyone to contribute

• Don’t schedule large meetings unless you’re certain they provide value to everyone

2) Leave a meeting if you’re not contributing

Taking initiative is not just part of being an effective communicator, but also a demonstration that you care about the other person. When they are speaking with someone who isn’t contributing anything extra to their discussion or thoughts on what should happen next - it can make people feel like there aren't worthwhile ideas coming from anyone in this meeting! So always try harder than necessary when given these types of situations so no one feels wasted time at work
If a meeting doesn’t require your:

• Input

• Value

• Decisions

• Your presence is useless.
  It’s not rude to leave a meeting.
  But it’s rude to waste people’s time.

3) Forget the chain of command

The chain of command may be a thing our parents never had to think about. We're used to taking orders from those above us and following their instructions blindly, without question or hesitation when it comes down right now decision-making skills are needed more than ever before in business if you want any chance at success which means being able to communicate effectively with every person on your team so they know exactly what needs to be done no matter how large:

• Communicate with colleagues directly

• Not through supervisors or managers

• Fast communicators make fast decisions

• Fast decisions = competitive advantage.

4) Be clear, not clever

Communication is key to the success of any project, but it can become difficult when we are trying to communicate with people who may not share our knowledge. The best way around this problem? Be clear and concise in what you say! Don't use jargon or fancy language that nobody understands; keep things simple yet still informative for all parties involved so they know exactly where their responsibilities lie from here on out - without being too robotic about every aspect. Avoid nonsense words and technical jargon, It slows down communication.

Choose words that are:

• Concise

• To the point

• Easy to understand

• Don’t sound smart. Be efficient.

5) Ditch frequent meetings

Meetings are a great way to collaborate and solve issues head-on, but if you don't have any urgent problems left after meeting with your team then send them an email or text instead of interrupting their workflow.

There’s no better way to waste everyone’s time. Use meetings to:

• Collaborate

• Attack issues head-on

• Solve urgent problems

But once you resolve the issue, frequent meetings are no longer necessary. You can resolve most issues without a meeting. Instead of meetings:

• Send a text

• Send an email

• Communicate on discord or slack channel

• Don’t interrupt your team’s workflow if it’s unnecessary.

6) Use common sense

Company rules are there to protect employees from doing something illegal or unethical. However, they can also be an unnecessary hassle that tries your patience and takes away time you could spend working instead of complying with these policies

The point here is common sense should dictate whether or not a company rule applies in any given situation - if it doesn't make sense then don’t apply!
If a company rule doesn’t:

• Make sense

• Contribute to progress

• Apply to your specific situation
