Book description
Warren Buffett is a legend primarily for his investment philosophy. He
isn't concerned about the intricacies of the market, but instead focuses
on the quality of the companies Berkshire Hathaway stands behind. Yet we
know little about the leaders of the companies that Buffett handpicks.
In Behind the Berkshire Hathaway Curtain: Lessons from Warren
Buffett's Top Business Leaders, author Ronald W. Chan - founder
and CEO of Chartwell Capital - offers a behind-the-scenes look into
the careers of Berkshire Hathaway executives who have both directly
and indirectly contributed to the conglomerate's success.
Drawing on exclusive interviews from Berkshire leaders, Chan vividly
describes how an exceptional group of managers has built a culture of
achievement. With a keen eye for detail, he shows how their lessons
can be applied for career success and personal fulfillment. Brimming
with practical advice, the book will appeal to both executives and
employees wanting to improve their leadership skills and work performance.
Covering the career and life decisions of David Sokol of MidAmerican
Energy, Cathy Baron-Tamraz of Business Wire, Dennis Knautz of Acme
Brick, Randy Watson of Justin Brands, Stan Lipsey of Buffalo News, and
many more, the book offers a wide range of business insights,
philosophies, and strategies directly from leaders at the top of their
fields.
Ronald W. Chan is the founder and CEO of Chartwell
Capital Limited, an investment management company based in Hong Kong.
He is a frequent contributor to financial newspapers and magazines in
the Asia Pacific region. Ronald received bachelor of science degrees
in finance and accounting from New York University.
