Module 1 – Case

INFLUENCE TACTICS AND SOURCES OF POWER

Assignment Overview

Elon Musk is one of the richest Americans in the world. His wealth is a direct result of his ingenuity, innovation, and being driven to succeed.  The usual barriers to success do not stop Musk from developing costly enterprises, such as Tesla Motors and SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corporation). If your personal net worth is $137 billion as of 2021, there are few barriers to whatever you want to do with it. 

Begin this Case assignment by reading about Elon Musk’s leadership style at Tesla Motors.

Journal of Global Entrepreneurship Research, 11(1), 213-222.

Case Assignment

Once you have finished your research, write a 4- to 5-page paper addressing the following issues. Make sure to cite at least 3 of the required background readings in your paper:

1.
Which type(s) of power did Elon Musk have: reward power, coercive power, coercive power, legitimate power, or expert power?

2.
Considering the creation of Tesla and SpaceX (manufacturing), is Twitter the right business type (social media) for Musk to buy or was it a mistake? 

3.
What do you think are the most important lessons on leadership and power that you learned from reading about Musk’s struggle with his employees?

4.
Did Musk make good use of his sources of power and influence tactics, or did he misuse or abuse his power?
