Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk has some advice for CEOs: Make better products, seek negative feedback and ditch those PowerPoint presentations.

特斯拉和SpaceX创始人埃隆•马斯克有一些建议要送给首席执行官(CEO)们：做更好的产品，寻找负面反馈信息，抛弃PPT。

"Are CEOs from corporate America focused enough on product improvement? I think the answer is no," Musk said Tuesday at the Wall Street Journal CEO Summit.

马斯克12月8日在WSJ CEO峰会上表示：“美国公司的CEO们足够专注于改善产品了吗？我认为没有。”

But that is vital, so CEOs should spend less time focusing on things like financials, according to Musk, and spend more time "just trying to make your product as amazing as possible."

但是马斯克认为，这至关重要，所以CEO们应该在财务等事情上少花些时间，把更多时间用于“完善你的产品”。

"I just honestly would recommend to anyone listening... just spend less time in meetings, less time on PowerPoint presentations, less time on spreadsheets, and more time on the factory floor or time with customers," Musk said.

马斯克说：“我真心地建议在座所有人……在开会上少花点时间，在PPT上少花点时间，在财务报表上少花点时间，把更多时间花在厂房里或者与顾客交流上。”
