1. Have a powerful vision

The most successful leaders usually have a powerful vision. They share it with their teams and chart a sure path on how they are going to achieve it. Moreover, they are able to exert influence so that other people can see their point of view. Just like Elon Musk, successful leaders have a revolutionary vision.

2. You Must Execute Your Idea Well

The success of an idea depends on how well it is executed. One that receives no action remains simply as an idea while one that is executed effectively can grow into superb business. Elon Musk indicates that you need to have an innovative team to execute your ideas.

3. Good ideas can spring from anyone, anywhere

One of the interesting things that Elon Musk has done is to make his ideas open-source. He has proposed them to the public and asked for factual improvement whenever and wherever possible. By doing this, he teaches us that great leaders take advantage of existing communication infrastructures so as to allow larger groups of people to take part in solving a problem. Elon understands that he may be smart, but the collective effort of a group of people can give results that he could not have achieved on his own. This is known as teamwork.

4. Focus On Your Most Important Activity Of Your Enterprise

Elon Musk, Warren Buffet and Mark Zuckerberg all have two things in common. They run billion dollar companies and they understand the power of focus. They agree that it is better to focus your effort on making a product better instead of focusing your effort on how to sell it to the market.
