Book excerpt: Billionaire Boy: Mark Zuckerburg in his own words is a revealing insight into the mind and vision of the world’s youngest billionaire and founder and CEO of Facebook. The Mark Zuckerburg most people know is the one depicted in Academy Award–winning film The Social Network: a nerdy, insecure and socially awkward young man – hardly the image of a topflight CEO in command of one of the world’s largest and most successful companies. Achieving the growth of Facebook as fast as Zuckerburg has is no mean feat, especially when you consider he had never raised a dollar from investors nor managed a single employee before. At the helm of Facebook, Zuckerburg not only has to run fast to maintain the company’s high profile success, but also needs to fight to stay ahead of some of the richest, most talented and most aggressive companies in the world. In this collection of quotations taken from interviews, presentations, media announcements and more, we see a new breed of business leader with a new way of thinking about business and success in a constantly changing world.
