For ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ฒ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ, Musk lived inside Teslaโs factories in Fremont and Nevada. His bed? A couch, sometimes a tent, or just the cold factory floor. But why? Because ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐. Musk didnโt want his team to think he was relaxing while they struggled. Instead, he slept where they workedโso every Tesla employee could see their CEO grinding just as hard. โ๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ซ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐จ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ข ๐๐๐ข๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง ๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐, ๐ข๐ญโ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐ง๐ .โ Thatโs why, during shift changes, workers saw Musk sleeping under his desk. It wasnโt for showโit was to prove he was in the trenches with them. The result? ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ข๐๐งโ๐ญ ๐ ๐จ ๐๐๐ง๐ค๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ญ. Musk believes this principle so much that he later banned remote work at Tesla, saying: โ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐ข๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ซ๐, ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐๐ง๐๐.โ Leadership isnโt just about giving orders. Itโs about setting the standard. If you want your team to give it their all, show them youโre willing to do the same. Would you work harder if your CEO slept on the floor next to you?
