Comment on In Facebook Deal, Board Was All But Out of Picture

Comments

Well, this has been evident for a long time. Mark Zuckerberg intends to rule Facebook, not by consensus, but by himself. When Zuckerberg was forced to make an IPO, he did everything in his power to minimize outside control. I also believe(not sure about this), that Zuckerberg still retains majority control of the company.

Yep, he owns 28% of the stock but 57% of the voting rights, according to the article.

Just as matter is never created or destroyed but merely changes form, so it is with Steve Jobs.

Have to admit that this increases my respect for Zuck. It breaks with the current trend towards this consensus seeking, "collaborative" management ideal, that sabotages bold moves.
