Show Notes
If you look at the spectacular results that Tesla has achieved as a business, it might entice you to try to emulate Elon Musk’s leadership approach.
But that would most likely be disastrous. People love to romanticise the image of the founder who’s so deep in the detail that he can solve the toughest technical problems better than his own engineers.
How many LinkedIn posts extol the virtues of entrepreneurs who lead like this? But for 99.9% of leaders, this could never work.
In this episode, I pull the principles of Musk’s algorithm apart, and explore what he actually did, why it worked for him, and why trying to copy it will not only fail, but also stunt the growth of your leadership pipeline.
Instead, I give you 6 things you can actually do, when you don't have a brain the size of a planet.

How many times have you sat in a room full of senior people, thinking about making a great point, but never actually speaking up?
If your workload is out of control, your best people are leaving, and you feel alone and unsupported, it might be that you're working for a weak leader.
You never know what to expect when mentoring CEOs.
In leadership, difficult conversations come with the territory. So, if your goal is to make everyone happy… go work in a donut shop!
The hardest thing I ever tried to do as an executive was to stop the sh!t that had already started: it gets a life of its own.
