1. Passion – Passion

Every successful CEO in the world has passion, the most fundamental element behind all success. Mark Zuckerberg's burning passion is to help people connect more easily, and this gave him faith in building Facebook when many investors turned their backs.

Lesson: Act on your passion and call on people who share it to work with you.

2. Purpose – Aim

Purpose can be understood as a compass guiding a startup whenever it feels discouraged or lost. Moreover, everything undertaken must have a clear purpose. Mark's purpose is simply to make the world better and enable people to share more with one another. Every feature on Facebook therefore serves this purpose.

Lesson: Every startup needs a clear purpose to guide its development.

3. People – Human beings

This is among the most important factors in each product's success. Every company must select staff, allocate human resources and build its culture. Done well, this powerfully drives growth. Facebook's popular ‘Hacker way’ culture emphasizes each individual's innovation and creativity within a strong collective.

Lesson: Find people suited to the work and give them full autonomy and initiative in their jobs.

4. Product – Goods

Every product must meet specific standards. It must be easy to use and serve a broad customer base. Product quality is the most accurate measure of a company's quality. Mark Zuckerberg always prioritizes product quality before thinking about building a business model.

Lesson: Focus on product development first; do not focus too much on revenue.

5. Partnerships – Partners

No CEO can run the whole organization smoothly alone. They need capable right-hand people who complement their missing skills. Establishing the right partnerships, whether with investors, management teams or suppliers, is also important for any company.

Lesson: Finding good partners is one of the keys to success.

As a company leader, Zuckerberg has embedded his vision in every aspect of Facebook, from its working culture and continual innovation to partnerships and acquisitions. He may not be a traditional business leader, but his unwavering belief in Facebook's mission and his long-term vision have been pivotal to the social network's success.
