Mark Zuckerberg Character Analysis

Decent Essays
I chose to write about Mark Zuckerberg as a leader who has played a great role in the
Facebook company.
Social early childhood and schooling
Mark Zuckerberg was the second born in a family of four being the only boy. The father was a dentist and the mother a psychiatrist. He got interested in programming while still in elementary school. He was taught Atari BASIC Programming when 10 years old and developed messenger called ZuckNet using the Atari programming which his father installed on his computer and it was used for communication between the house and the the dental health care to inform of arrival of a new patient. He continued developing games just for fun. His father hired a computer tutor to give his son private lessons. In high school

In 2012, Mark acquired Instagram which was an iOS application but can be used on
Android OS nowadays as well. He also acquired WhatsApp which is an instant messaging tool.
Mark Zuckerberg’s personality traits
Firstly, he was a good communicator. He has a poised, confident and articulate way of speaking and is admired by many for his ability to communicate effectively with his team and the world. This is a good leadership skill that enables him to do good public speaking. Also, he is a student. He has been seen with Steve Jobs where he sought knowledge on how to build a strong team and how to keep an organisation focused. He appreciates continued growth in a company.
Mark is a hard worker. He is somebody with self drive. AT 12, he was able to create a communication channel for his family. It took him hard work to get to Harvard. When he envisioned Facebook, he dropped out of Harvard and started working tirelessly on his vision to make it a reality. This shows how hardworking he was.
Mark Zuckerberg possesses the qualities we learnt in class. In seven habits, we learn to be good communicators when we are in a team. We listen to the team members emphatically to get the feeling. That is what he did because they were working in teams and

He also embraced the team work we learnt which enabled them brainstorm and come up with the best ideas. He is also willing to learn. In seven habits, when we humble ourselves and allow others to share their ideas and we also share ours, it means we are willing to learn.
From my investigations about Mark Zuckerberg, I learnt that a good leader is a good communicator, he is a good team player and always willing to learn no matter his position. I recommend that anybody who wants to be a successful person who can be emulated should be hardworking to ensure their vision comes to a reality. They should consider working in teams since in teams, we get to accept our differences and use them to get the best ideas.
Thank you. THE

    In the writings about and/or by Frederick Douglas, we can determine he was highly educated and influential individual of his time, but what made Douglass the man he was? I believe what made him the man he was in the 1800 's was his desire for education and the education of his people, his unyielding persistence in challenging America, his independent views, and his true belief to prove all men equal regardless of color.
