By assuming that work from home and remote work can't be productive, Musk is making a common but potentially crippling leadership mistake.

He is the author of Leading Hybrid and Remote Teams: A Manual on Benchmarking to Best Practices for Competitive Advantage. Applied is adopting best practices to facilitate innovation in remote and hybrid work such as virtual asynchronous brainstorming to sustain a competitive advantage. Studies show that we do our best work through intrinsic motivation, which involves autonomy and control over our work as a fundamental driver of effectiveness.

One of Musk’s false assumptions involves the idea that employees “pretend” to work from home.
