Welcome to a new episode of Business Lunch! In this episode, Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss discuss Elon Musk's unique approach to problem-solving, where he reportedly solves his companies' biggest problems in a matter of weeks. They analyze the pros and cons of Musk's leadership style, including his willingness to make tough decisions and the potential impact on employees. The hosts also explore whether this approach can be replicated by other business leaders.

Highlights:

"He just came in there and went just ape, you know, and kind of gutted everybody who was essentially middle management."

"The fundamental job, the single most important job that any CEO has, is determining what is the company's right next thing."

"I do love the idea of saying, like, we are going to solve this problem in weeks, to say that every single thing that is our biggest problem can always be solved in a singular week."

"If you're a leader, and if you decide that you're going to take on the role of solving a particular problem in your team, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, because, frankly, your people probably are above full capacity already."
