Salesforce CEO asks if tech execs should 'unleash' their inner Elon Musk. Experts say that's an awful idea.
, calling for employees to"run lean and mean" and not to let company culture get in the way of what needs to be done."Sometimes, culture is the only advantage a company has," said Fishbach, the University of Chicago professor."Anyone can imitate a business strategy, but culture is much more difficult to replicate. If your company isn't a place where people want to work, it's not going to be very productive or successful.
Of course, not everyone is buying the idea that Musk's way of running a company is problematic. For better or worse, Musk has become something of a"beacon" for executives who are struggling with how to reorganize their workforce, said Tamara Holder a workplace discrimination lawyer, who has acted as a corporate adviser.
"It has the potential for creating a toxic work place," Holder said."But at the same time, what the CEOs are doing by cutting their workforce is a little inevitable," she said."There's a lot of fat that needs to be cut in tech and in Silicon Valley. Elon has shown he can be ruthless and companies are following his lead."
Anat Alon-Beck, a corporate law and governance professor at Case Western Reserve University, said companies shouldn't follow the slash-and-burn playbook of Musk."If more companies start treating their employees like Musk has, that would be a very grim future," Alon-Beck said."But I don't think it's going to fly. They're going to pay for it. The next generation of workers — Gen-Z — they won't put up with it.
