Mark Zuckerberg encouraged execs to do MMA training with him

In a recent report, former Meta executive Nick Clegg recounted an unusual management offsite experience with CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Clegg revealed that Zuckerberg encouraged executives to participate in mixed martial arts (MMA) training sessions with him. During the offsite, Zuckerberg, an avid MMA enthusiast, organized an MMA training activity for the attending executives. Clegg, who was Meta's president of global affairs at the time, participated in the session along with other top-level managers. The report suggests that Zuckerberg's interest in MMA extended beyond personal enjoyment, as he believed the physical activity could benefit his executives' leadership skills and teambuilding. The training session was reportedly part of Zuckerberg's efforts to foster a more physical, competitive culture within the company. While the unusual corporate activity may raise eyebrows, the report highlights Zuckerberg's unorthodox management style and his attempts to cultivate a unique work environment at Meta, formerly known as Facebook.
