西点军校访谈：Elon Musk关于Leadership ...

?

ELON MUSK: Well, I am very much in technology. So for me, if somebody is going to lead something in technology, they must themselves be good at technology. Meaning that if they’re going to lead something that involves complex engineering, they must themselves be good at engineering. They don’t necessarily need to be the best engineer on the team, but they need to be very confident in their field. This is incredibly important.

To me, if somebody’s leading a given engineering field or engineering department and they are not good at that, then that would be like a cavalry captain who can’t ride a horse. Problem. Great leader in every way except can’t ride a horse. And then you got to charge into battle and cavalry captain falls off the horse. You know? It’s not inspiring. So, cavalry captain must be able to ride a horse. They don’t need to be the best horse rider, but they must be confident in this regard. Otherwise, they cannot evaluate the talent of the team, and they don’t understand the technology that’s being developed.

This may seem like a simple thing, but it is often not the case that this is overlooked. You know, I don’t want to pick on the CEO of Boeing, but he’s got a degree in accounting or something, which I think… you know, you want to have someone who knows how airplanes work, run an airplane company.
