Mark Zuckerberg's awkwardness may be a power move — here's why

Business Insider · 1y

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has gained a reputation for being awkward. A recent viral video showed him appearing uncomfortable at a UFC event, leading to memes and mockery. However, some argue that this awkwardness can be seen as a "power move" for tech CEOs, suggesting that it is a marker of intelligence and non-conformity to social norms. Awkward individuals are often highly focused and can excel in their chosen fields. However, this label may not be as advantageous for women in positions of power, who are often expected to prioritize the comfort and smooth running of social interactions.
