Elon Musk has some epic rules for meetings and stuff:

1 No large meetings unless they’re of value to the entire audience. Keep them short.

2 Don’t have frequent meetings unless the matter is truly urgent. Resolve it; stop meeting.

3 If you are not adding value to a meeting, walk out or drop off the call.

4 Don’t use acronyms and nonsense words for objects, software, or processes.

5 Avoid any terms that require explanation, because they inhibit communication.

6 Communicate directly with individuals rather than through a chain of command.

7 Any manager enforcing chain-of-command communication will be fired.

8 Don’t follow any “company rule” that doesn’t make common sense.

9 Ideas that increase productivity or happiness are always welcome.
