Summary

Warren Buffett is a legend primarily for his philosophy on investing. He isn't concerned about the intricacies of the market, instead, he focuses on the quality of companies Berkshire Hathaway stands behind. But how much do we know about the leaders of the companies that Buffett handpicks?While the success and philosophy of Berkshire and Buffett are well documented, this book offers a behind-the-scenes look into the early careers of Berkshire Hathaway's executives, who have both directly and indirectly contributed to the company's success. Through exclusive interviews with top executives and CEOs, author Ronald Chan takes us behind the scenes to learn about the early career and life decisions made by the executives at Berkshire Hathaway holdings including Don Keough of Coca Cola, Dennis Knautz of ACME Brick, Randy Watson of Justin Brands, Stan Lipsey of Buffalo News, and many more.
