As you may have read, Elon Musk's fortune has skyrocketed in recent months, making him the richest man in the world. The report was first published by Bloomberg and then Forbes named Elon Musk as the richest man on the planet, who ousted Amazon's Jeff Bezos. When the owners of the Tesla company posted the news on Twitter, Musk's response was unusual.
Elon Musk just said, "How weird," followed by a "Okay, let's get back to work." Reaction, though unusual, is widely regarded as a useful lesson for any leader's emotional intelligence.
Inc. Magazine, a platform centered on businesses, employees and leadership, writes that his answer is well worth discussing. Inc. mentions the fact that Elon Musk earned more than three-quarters of his fortune last year alone. The days when he slept in the office are not far away because he could not afford to buy an apartment.
Por Inc. adds that Musk knows how quickly fates change, especially in financial markets. He seems to have learned from everything the cleverness of different entrepreneurs. He knows that one day he is the hero and the next day he may be a loser. In such cases, the leader of Tesla and SpaceX has chosen to ignore the ups and downs. Instead, he focuses on the most important thing of a leader - creating a product in the best possible shape.
Successful leaders never consider whether or not they are at the top of the world. Instead, they do what Musk wrote on Twitter - get back to work.
