Elon Musk's Six Productivity Rules Set to Fail
Despite enthusiasm from some Tesla workers over Elon Musk's recently proposed six productivity rules, experts are skeptical that they will have any real impact on productivity at the company. Research suggests most startups would grow faster if they held fewer meetings than usual and there is no guarantee eliminating chain of command or communication barriers between departments will lead to better results in the long run - meaning it is likely these changes won't bring about any meaningful change at Tesla.

In a recent email sent to Tesla employees, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk proposed six productivity rules that he believes will help the company reach new heights of success. The rules include avoiding large meetings, frequent meetings, and chain of command, as well as eliminating communication barriers between departments and abolishing useless rules. However, despite the enthusiasm from some Tesla workers over the potential benefits of these changes, many experts are skeptical that they will have any real impact on productivity. In fact, research suggests that most startups would grow faster if they held 80% fewer meetings than they currently do. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that eliminating chain of command or communication barriers between departments will actually lead to better results in the long run. As such, it is likely that Musk’s proposed productivity rules will ultimately fail to bring about any meaningful change at Tesla. It remains to be seen whether or not Musk’s six productivity rules will be successful in improving efficiency at Tesla. But for now it appears that his ambitious plans may not be enough to make a significant difference in the company’s performance.
