Interview with Mark Zuckerberg

Just recently, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg gave a 90-minute YouTube interview to podcast moderator and bestselling author Tim Ferris. In it, the Meta CEO spoke, among other things, about his fencing career, personal energy management, the construction of the metaverse, the solution of major technical challenges such as VR and other topics that affect the life of the American entrepreneur.

Associates call it the “Eye of Sauron”

During the interview, Zuckerberg explained that personal energy management plays a central role in his life. Employees who work with him are said to have given Zuckerberg the nickname the “Eye of Sauron”. The reason for this is that the Facebook founder has an almost unlimited amount of energy, which can also be dangerous.

“Some of the people I work with at the company – I think they say that affectionately – sometimes refer to me as the Eye of Sauron. They’re basically telling me, ‘You have infinite energy to work on something and if you point it at a certain team, you’re just going to burn it,'” Zuckerberg said.

Therefore, it is important to him to dissipate this seemingly immeasurable energy and not focus on a single task as this can be exhausting for the team involved. Despite this, he believes that his way of working is generally correct. “I think the engagement you get through an immediate feedback loop is a lot better than meeting three weeks later when the issue is still important, but not as important as what’s happening right now. I think “This balance is also important to keep the organization going,” he explains.

This is how Zuckerberg deals with criticism

In his 18 years as an entrepreneur, Zuckerberg says he has learned how to deal with criticism correctly, but no longer let it bother him. Rather, it would be a matter of getting people and, above all, the employees enthusiastic about the direction in which the company is developing. Because there was already a lot of criticism for the WhatsApp and Instagram acquisitions, although they ultimately turned out to be a success. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg even feels that it’s a good thing when people don’t quite follow the company’s plans: “If people feel like they understand what we are as a company and what we do, then I’m drifting it’s not going strong enough.”
