Facebook's explosive and well-documented rise was driven by founder Mark Zuckerberg's mantra, "Move Fast and Break Things". Speed of innovation was key, and if you weren't making mistakes, you weren't moving fast enough. Facebook may have bowed to corporate constraints and changed its motto, but it is still a powerful example of the breakneck speed of American business. Preparing well in advance is essential for keeping up, and helps to control that pace for a productive business relationship.
