So, I just read this article about Elon Musk’s recent trip to China, and it’s kind of funny. Apparently, after a bunch of meetings and plant tours, he ended the trip by throwing a BBQ for about 100 Tesla employees. Burgers, hot dogs, and soft drinks were served up to the hungry workers at Tesla’s Shanghai factory.
It’s interesting to me because it’s an example of how Musk can be a little unpredictable and unconventional in his leadership style. I mean, he’s a billionaire entrepreneur, but he’s also willing to roll up his sleeves and grill some burgers for his employees. Plus, it’s a nice gesture to show some appreciation for the hard work they’re doing.
The article also points out that Tesla has faced some challenges in China, including a recent protest by unhappy customers who claimed that the company’s customer service wasn’t up to par. So, maybe this BBQ was a way for Musk to boost morale and show that Tesla cares about its employees and customers alike.
All in all, I think this article is a reminder that even big, successful companies like Tesla are made up of people who appreciate a good burger and a cold drink. And it’s a good lesson for any leader out there: sometimes the little things, like a BBQ with your team, can go a long way in building a positive company culture.
