zuckerberg

phoenix technology news, september 23, beijing time, what kind of company can be called a technology company? in the eyes of meta ceo mark zuckerberg, company leaders must first understand technology.

last week, zuckerberg was interviewed on a podcast about his views on technical leadership. he said that the lack of technical skills in leaders is one of the first problems he noticed when he went to silicon valley. "the ceo doesn't understand technology, there are no technical people on the board, and there is only one engineering director on the management team who understands technology, and no one else understands technology," he said. "well, if this is your team, then you are not a technology company."

zuckerberg founded facebook in his harvard dorm room at the age of 19 and is good at programming. he said in the podcast that he would look at their technical background when appointing managers. "one thing i have been careful to do is to have a lot of people on our management team with different backgrounds, mainly those who manage these large product groups, who have grown up through different technical paths in the company, and i think this will achieve a balance in management." he said.

zuckerberg clarified that this does not mean that being technical is the only important skill in leadership. "you don't want everyone to be an engineer because there are other important things, but if you don't have enough engineers in the company, then you're not a tech company."
