I'll give Bezos credit, I've had good insight into 50+ companies from 5 person to 300k and I've never seen this level of accountability at anything over 10 people. The natural tendency for the average employee is to devolve into a "how do I not get fired" mindset, rather than "how do I and my coworkers keep our productivity very high".
Tesla also has had some success with productive teams, but Musk can only scale so far. If he isn't showing up regularly and drilling down into teams and firing the people who are not productive, there becomes more incentive to make friends and play politics than to be productive at the expense of pissing someone off.
