然后他添加了一系列生产力提示，其中包括建议：

Cancel large meetings or if you have to have them keep them "very short"

取消大型会议，或者如果你必须开会哪么保持“非常短”。

Walk out of a meeting or end a phone call if it is failing to serve a useful purpose.

如果没有达到有用的目的，可以走出会议或结束电话。

Avoid acronyms or nonsense words. "We don’t want people to have to memorise a glossary just to function at Tesla"

避免缩略词或无意义的单词。 “我们不希望人们为了在特斯拉工作而不得不背诵词汇表”。

Sidestep the "chain of command" to get the job done. Managers insisting on hierarchies will "soon find themselves working elsewhere"

闪避“指挥链”从而完成工作。坚持等级制的经理们将“很快会发现他们将在别处工作”。

Ignore the rules if following them is obviously ridiculous.

如果遵循这些规则显然是荒谬的，那么可以忽略它们。
