Tesla's 9-Word Rule Every Employee Has to Follow Is Simply Brilliant

"Define the type of company you aspire to be."

Last week, Tesla released its 2021 Impact Report, which details the efforts the company has made related to its environmental, social and governance (ESG) impact. It's a long report, 144 pages to be exact, and, because I had some time, I read through it. 

 In a lot of ways, the report is what you'd expect. It's a report about all the things the company says it's doing to make a positive impact. For example, the report says Tesla helped its customers "avoid emitting 8.4 million metric tons of CO2e." I don't really know what that means, but it sounds good, I guess. Especially if you make electric vehicles.

The company also said it is responsible for creating 100,000 jobs. That's a little more concrete of a number and is also a good thing. The entire report is full of good things.
