Hij is één van de de meest besproken leiders van dit moment: Elon Musk. De in Zuid-Afrika geboren oprichter van onder andere SpaceX en Tesla neemt geen blad voor de mond en ligt vaak onder vuur vanwege (bedrijfs-)gevoelige tweets, maar is voor velen wel een inspiratiebron. Daarom een dozijn quotes van Musk over leiderschap, innovatie en doorzettingsvermogen:
#1. “I think it is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary.”
#2. “I could either watch it happen or be a part of it.”
#3. “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves. It does not automatically improve. It only improves if a lot of people work very hard to make it better, and actually it will, I think, by itself degrade, actually.”
#4. “It’s OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.”
#5. “Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.”
#6. “If something is important enough, even if the odds are against you, you should still do it.”
#7. “Persistence is very important. You should not give up unless you are forced to give up.”
#8. “You want to have a future where you’re expecting things to be better, not one where you’re expecting things to be worse.”
#9. “The first step is to establish that something is possible; then probability will occur.”
#10. “If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it’s not.”
#11. “There have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Why do you want to live? What’s the point? What inspires you? What do you love about the future? If the future does not include being out there among the stars and being a multi-planet species, I find that incredibly depressing.”
#12. “When Henry Ford made cheap, reliable cars, people said, ‘Nah, what’s wrong with a horse?’ That was a huge bet he made, and it worked.”
