Elon Musk Sent a Controversial Email to Managers. It’s a Master Class in Leading People
If an email is sent from me with explicit directions, there are only three actions allowed by managers:
1. Email me back to explain why what I said was incorrect. Sometimes I’m just plain wrong!
2. Request further clarification if what I said was ambiguous.
3. Execute the directions.
If none of the above are done, that manager will be asked to resign immediately.
