Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Apple co-founder Steve Jobs advised him on how to sharpen his company’s focus and build the right management team for the world’s largest social network.

“I had a lot of questions for him,” Zuckerberg said in an interview with Charlie Rose that aired yesterday.

The topics included, “how to build a team around you that’s focused on building as high quality and good things as you are.”

Jobs, in the period before he died on Oct. 5, viewed it as his responsibility to give advice to up-and-coming technology executives including Zuckerberg, according to a biography of Jobs published last month. Jobs said in interviews with the author, Walter Isaacson, that he admired the Facebook CEO for not “selling out.”

Zuckerberg, who at age 27 is ranked No. 14 on the list of richest US people according to Forbes, sought the advice as he navigates rapid growth and the onslaught of rivals including Google.
