Mark Zuckerberg, during Facebook's growth, promoted rapid innovation with the motto "move fast and break things." This shift emphasizes cultural fit in hiring and reflects a modern leadership vision focused on time management, effective communication, and a strong workplace culture, driving organizational success through streamlined operations and empowered employees.
