  • Thinking Thursday: A Warning for Leaders from Elon Musk and Tesla

    Thinking Thursday: A Warning for Leaders from Elon Musk and Tesla
    May 1 2025
    As host Robert Glazer discussed in a recent article, Elon Musk's decision to step away from DOGE and refocus on Tesla due to the automotive giant's poor earnings is a clear sign that the rules of business leadership still apply to Musk, and that fact is a warning to all leaders. Robert and Elevate Podcast producer Mick Sloan break down all the elements of Tesla's struggles, especially delving into the pitfalls of the founder/CEO brand being linked to a company's brand, and the harm that can hit a business when leaders lack full focus. They then discuss what Tesla can do from here to get back on track--if it's even possible.
