I would love to know your thoughts about it 🧠
TL;DR: People become slaves to systems that are supposed to help. Boring meetings are killing agile. Meetings requires an active participation from everyone. Otherwise you might not be essential to that meeting, and rather use your time with something else.

Elon Musk sent an email to the staff at Tesla with his 6 rules for productivity. Unsurprisingly, it leaked. Here they are: 1) Avoid large meetings 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 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 Communicate with colleagues directly. Not through supervisors or managers. Fast communicators make fast decisions. Fast decisions = competitive advantage. 4) Be clear, not clever 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 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 a discord or slack channel Don't interrupt your team's workflow if it's unnecessary. 6) Use common sense If a company rule doesn't: - Make sense - Contribute to progress - Apply to your specific situation Avoid following the rule with your eyes closed. Don't follow rules. Follow principles.
