Elon's unique Leadership style ..

Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur, has left an indelible mark on the business world. Presently across the world we cannot find anybody else with a greater impact on global science and technology.

His leadership style is transformational, characterized by 

• audacity, 
• innovation, and 
• relentless pursuit of improvement. 

I have been reading the 620 page Musk's biography written by Walter Isaacson and published by Simon Schuster NY. It is explaining in great detail how Elon goes about his day taking decisions qand motiavtng his employees. In trying to understand what is his unique leadership style, I have identified the following points. 

Let’s delve into the key aspects of his leadership:

• Big Ideas and Vision: Musk believes there’s always a better way to do things. He sets his sights on grand objectives, whether it’s revolutionizing space travel with SpaceX or disrupting the automotive industry with Tesla. His vision is often bold, even outrageous, but it unites his teams around a common purpose for the sake of benefitting the planet and humanity
• Out-of-the-Box Thinking: Musk’s approach involves pushing boundaries. From manufacturing rockets to creating electric cars, he consistently challenges conventional norms. His willingness to explore uncharted territory fosters creativity and innovation within his organizations.
• Ambition and Audacity: Musk’s goals are audacious. He aims high, and his teams rally behind these ambitious targets. Whether it’s colonizing Mars or achieving sustainable energy, his unwavering commitment inspires those around him.
• Learning Environment: Musk encourages learning and growth. He surrounds himself with brilliant minds and expects them to think ten times more audaciously than he does. His teams thrive in an intellectually stimulating environment.
• Listening to Team Members: Despite his visionary status, Musk values input from his team. He listens to ideas, encourages collaboration, and allows others to have a say in decisions. This openness fosters a sense of ownership and commitment among employees.
• Constant urge to reduce costs : Unlike public funded govt projects, private projects are always short of funds and activities should be focused on reducing costs and at the same time ensuring safety of operations and the people

Personally Elon is very daring and does not fear the repercusions of his decisions. In summary, Elon Musk’s leadership style combines genius, audacity, and a relentless pursuit of improvement. His impact on the present day world is too big to escape attention by world leaders across continents.

His huge appetitie to take risks, technology and business risks, even risking all his assets and business repute, if that is to bring human development, he is ever willing to do it.

His great desire to ensure environmental sustainability through the Electric car TESLA and to ensure humans colonise the space, by setting up the first human colony in Mars in ten years during his life time )he is 52 years now) are all very laudable.

The world that has thrived on technological growth and development since the start of the Industrial revolution from the 1700s with IR 1,2,3 and now on the brink of IR 4.0, is watching with baited breath, what is going to happen next. With Elon, nothing can be predicted.
