"I tend to approach things from a physics framework. And physics teaches you to reason from first principles rather than by analogy. So I said, OK, letās look at the first principles. What is a rocket made of? Aerospace-grade aluminum alloys, plus some titanium, copper, and carbon fiber. And then I asked, what is the value of those materials on the commodity market? It turned out that the materials cost of a rocket was around 2 percent of the typical priceāwhich is a crazy ratio for a large mechanical product."

Don't hold large meetings, except if they are providing value to everyone. Then keep the meeting short.
A typical meeting should involve no more than 4 - 6 people. Before you send out your next invite list ask: Who on this list will add (or receive) the most value? Is there anyone who doesn't need to be there?
