About This Book
Elon Musk's five-step framework for exploding the status quo has never been explained by someone who actually used it—until now.
Jon McNeill served as President of Tesla during one of its most turbulent and triumphant stretches, watching revenue climb from $2B to $20B in 30 months. In The Algorithm, he breaks down the exact five-step framework Musk deployed to pull Tesla from the brink of production collapse: question every requirement, delete every possible step, simplify and optimize, accelerate cycle time and automate. A founder and operator himself, McNeill brings case studies from Tesla, SpaceX, Lululemon and GM to show how the method translates across industries and company sizes.
The Algorithm is for leaders who suspect incremental improvement isn't enough—and want a repeatable, field-tested approach to attacking complexity, compressing timelines and setting goals that once seemed unreachable.
