Author Antonio Garcia Martinez believes Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, has been wrongly portrayed in the movie Social Network. “...on the contrary, he’s actually very alpha and dominant,” says Martinez,  “He’s the sort of guy who, if you challenge him that he can't do 100 pushups,  he'll bet a million dollars that he can,  and he'll win.“
Zuckerberg also took three months off to help his wife look after his first-born. "I am a competitive guy,” he boasted, “I time myself to get and better, and I got  (nappy changing) down to 20 seconds.”

The Leader's Quest

“The way I found that works for me is I theme my days. On Monday…... I focus on management and running the company…Tuesday is focused on product. Wednesday is focused on marketing and communications and growth. Thursday is focused on developers and partnerships. Friday is focused on the company and the culture and recruiting. Saturday I take off, I hike. Sunday is reflection, feedback, strategy, and getting ready for the week.” - Jack Dorsey, CEO Twitter
