2. He has relentless attention to quality. Tesla, for example, has a zero-dollar marketing budget. They do that by making the highest quality electric cars possible.
3.Elon Musk goes out of his way to get meaningful feedback from everyone. When Tesla released the Model S, he didn’t want to know what was right about the car but what could be fixed. He did the same with SpaceX; after the first three rockets blew up, he kept working until he had a repeatable process of success. Making improvements through trial and error. Taking action and not staying in the theoretical world.
4.Be passionate about the company and product or service. Elon says to throw as many hours as possible by working seven days a week. (Inc. Magazine)
5.Business is about people. He would make sure that everyone was going in the same direction. Teams are aligned, and the vision is clear.

7.Execution makes a difference in a business—the implementation of ideas.
