His perception management skills are top notch and he works as an effective conduit for getting capital to engineers.
The rest is...meh.
In SpaceX's case they picked up on rocketry research where NASA left off because its budget was squeezed.
- martindbp 5y agoGetting funding, finding the most talented engineers, deciding what to build and motivating people are the high-level skills needed from a founder/CEO. I don't see any argument here against his importance to all companies that he's been involved in. Nobody's claiming he's building rockets all by himself.
- mbrodersen 5y agoNASA is a massively ineffective bureaucratic organisation. Even with an “unsqueezed” budget it still wouldn’t have achieved what SpaceX has achieved.
