Outstanding Personalities and Role Models – by Viktoria Gottsmann

Today, we find many successful personalities in business, people who came up with innovative ideas and took the risk to put these ideas into reality.

One example of these young, successful Entrepreneurs is Mark Zuckerberg.

Mark Zuckerberg (born in 1984) founded the company Facebook in 2004, in the age of 19, during his studies at Harvard Business School. Later, as the idea came out to be successful, he took the risk and quit university. His family and friends describe him to be “strong-willed and relentless”. Today, Facebook is on of the Top 3 internet businesses and the success story does not seem to stop. (Time Magazine – Mark Zuckerberg – Person of the Year 2010, Time Magazine, 15.06.2011)

There are several other young, successful and greedy business people out there, among these Youtube´s Chad Hurley, Foursquare´s Naveen Selvadural and Matt Mullenweg (WordPress; thanks to his creation you can read this fabulous blog entry). I respect these guys for having the guts to roll out their ideas consequently and successfully.
Therefore I would like to know about your rolemodels in business: What outstanding personalities impress you and what do you think are the characteristics which make them win the game?
