Mark Zuckerberg lifted the lid of his style of management at the Stripe’s Sessions Conference.
Zuckerberg said the “main army” of up to 30 people was tasked with managing about 15 product groups.
He does not like to delegate or manage people and there is no regular one -off with his direct reports.

Forget the typical book about Executive Director – Mark Zuckerberg manages Meta on its own conditions.

The Meta boss, speaking during a fire chat on Tuesday with Stripe co -founder John Colison, said he did not like to manage people or delegate.

Although he does not have 60 direct reports as NVIDIA CEO Jenson Huang, the two technology titans have one thing in common: they have no repeated meetings one with one with their best leaders.

During the Stripe FireSide sessions, Zuckerberg opened for his practical approach without excess, a key part of which has a “main army” of selected lieutenants and only a few direct reports.

Zuckerberg prefers a non -agricultural structure in Meta, which are thematically themed.

“Our management team is not really just my direct reports. It’s kind of like a width group of 25 to 30 people I am trying to include in everything,” Zuckerberg said. He added that this “main army” was empowered to do something in the company and that he makes sure that this inner circle is the speed of what is happening inside Meta.

“These people are brilliant and I work with them super closely, but I also go directly to the people who manage anything that I am interested in, so we are very unbelievable this way,” he explained.

Zuckerberg said Meta is divided into about 15 product groups, covering everything from Facebook and Instagram to its advertising system and virtual reality.

He outlined how each group is guided by its own CEO. Meta -based product leaders reported Chris Cox, Chief Product Officer. Heads of multifunctional services, such as ADS, infrastructure and integrity systems, reported to the Chief Operations Officer of Meta, Javier Olivan. And leaders working on future technology platforms report to Andrew Bosworth, Chief Technology Officer of the company.

Zuckerberg examines people responsible for the 15 product groups such as “people who manage the real things” and said that he did not want to have 15 direct reports, which is why they report to other members of the management team.

“I don’t have 60 direct reports, I don’t even like to manage people,” Zuckerberg told Collison.

Zuckerberg is also not interested in micro -control. He said, “I think if you are going to report to me, you must be able to manage yourself.”

The Meta Executive Director rejects the idea that leadership is to hire people and delegate tasks to them. Instead, he prefers to remain closely included in critical decisions.

“I just don’t believe in delegation,” he said. “I think this is generally a good way for the founders to work. If you manage the company and you are on the hook for everything and there is something that is important at any level of detail in the organization, I do not get the logic to say” I will not participate in it. “

He added: “You want to have humility and know that if you dive into a solution, you may not have the most context right away, but I usually think you want to just have the cultural expectations that things will not be so hierarchical and you will just immerse yourself in everything you want.”

Zuckerberg said he was trying to minimize constant meetings and there are only two weekly recurring meetings with a small group. One is an open -type discussion and the other focuses on the company’s priorities.

He said, “When I say that I do not have one in mine, I have no repeated one by one, I talk to all these people constantly, more than they want to talk to me, I am sure, but I do it when I have something I want to talk to them, or if they want to talk to me, I try to maintain time in time.”

He is also trying to ensure that there is a block of time every day to focus on key tasks, or will “disappoint” and be in a “bad mood”.

He said, “It’s like you have too many such days and I just like exploding, so I think you want to make sure you maintain a meaningful amount of your time open, so this way you can just talk to the people you want to do what you want to do, or what you want to learn about what is happening in the organization,” he said.

Meta did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment.
