The CEO of Lucid Motors reveals the important lesson his former boss Elon Musk taught him about leadership
"I really believe that success can beget success," Rawlinson said in an interview with Business Insider. "It can be a self-fulfilling prophecy if you're really committed and you're all in, and everyone at Lucid knows I am. And that's the leadership I hope I provide."
If you focus too much on what might go wrong, it can decrease your odds of achieving your goals, he added.Musk, Rawlinson said, demonstrated his commitment to success "on an hour-by-hour basis." Rawlinson has taken that attitude to Lucid, which he joined in 2013 . His confidence in the company and its debut vehicle, the Air luxury sedan, is driven by Lucid's in-house engineering and design efforts.
"We're creating a car which is going to be the best car in the world," Rawlinson said. "People are going to want it." Lucid will unveil the production version of the Air in September before beginning production next year. The vehicle's price will start "well north" of $100,000, Rawlinson said.
