Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has expressed his support for embracing “masculine energy” in corporate culture, suggesting that many companies have been too focused on avoiding aggressive and competitive traits. In a recent interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, Zuckerberg stated that he believes companies should celebrate the qualities often associated with traditionally masculine individuals, such as aggression.
Zuckerberg’s comments come amid a shift towards the politics of former US President Donald Trump, who has been gaining popularity in recent years. The Facebook CEO expressed his thoughts during a lengthy conversation with Rogan, which was published on Friday and appears to be part of a broader trend of embracing Trump-esque values among some business leaders.
In the interview, Zuckerberg also made a comment about the behavior of President Biden’s staff members during the COVID-19 pandemic, stating that they would have likely “screamed” and “curse” in response to the challenges faced by the company. This remark has sparked debate about the tone and leadership style required for success in business.
