Call him a nerd or an 'Alpha Geek' but Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook, is the world's youngest billionaire and in charge of one of most successful companies in the world. Was it just luck and good timing or is Zuckerberg a new type of visionary leader with the keys to business success in the our fast-moving digital world?
