Elon Musk 第6章(3)

2017.9.13 (P128-132)

Part 1. 感悟

这一小节里面有个挺感人的细节。

就是当Elon听到员工Hollman 的抱怨后,第一时间让助手Brown来解决员工个人的难处,并且还提前同意支付费用。由此可见,Elon也是一个心思非常细腻的人,并且能这么快速并切实地解决员工的个人问题,保障他们都能安心地工作。这个角度来看,他是个好老板!

Elon can be very demanding ,but he'll make sure the obstacles in your way are removed.

当你真正关心别人的时候,换来的也一定是别人的理解和支持。Hollman也有之前的抱怨,转变为如今能够站在老板的角度去考虑问题。有了这样的相互理解,也必然能够让事业做的更长远。

Upon reflection, he also warmed to the long-term thinking behind Musk's Washington plan.


Part 2. Summary :

According to Musk , its first rocket would launch in "early 2004". With this goal looming , many people worked harder and longer time .

But the pending launch ignited Musk's salesman instincts. So he wanted to show the public about their achievement and drum up some excitement around SpaceX. He decided to unveil a prototype of Falcon 1  to the public in Washington before first rocket launching . It added more extra work to employees. But in Elon's opinion , the company can get a lot of backing from the government.

Just after a few weeks of that , Elon made a plan for a second rocket . It would be with more engines and could carry more weight .More importantly,it could reach the International Space Station for resupply missions.It will be a big step for Space Industry .

During this period, Elon's team's spirit has been seen . Although facing a  sort of insurmountable challenge , they banded tegather to solve them . They were all smart ,hard-working , eager to perfect projects . Like any other bosses, he also asked workers to do more and be better.

He also asked the suppliers to keep up with company's pace. Sometimes he flew his jet across the country to follow up on things personally .
