A decent book taking a more nuanced view of CEOs running major companies in the Berkshire Hathaway group. Each chapter devotes to each CEO, as well as Warren Buffet's rationale for making the purchase. The book got a bit repetitive in the latter half of the book, hence the four star. If you're really interested in Warren's investment philosophy, you should watch this HBO documentary-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ridk6...

If you’re interested in becoming or searching for the qualities in superb management this is a great book for you. My favorite aspect was seeing how Buffett found these men and women and his process of buying and how his analysis was conducted. As an investor looking to always find a company with great management this book had numerous insights. My top three (although their were many) are the following:

1. Prefer family run businesses. Multi generational means the business has been around for a long time and likely has a large moat keeping it running.

2. The Berkshire competitive advantage. Buffett gets first access to many of these companies because many of them are looking to be acquired by someone who will mainly be hands off, allow the company to retain all its employees, want to be long-term oriented rather than slaves to Wall Street.

3. Buffett has very specific qualities he looks for in the management running his acquisitions: integrity, love of their work, values, humility, tenure, owner oriented, motivated, energetic, inquisitiveness, and family oriented are a few that stood out to me.

一.波克夏資本來源:保險業三大CEO管理原則
1.蓋可保險的Louis Simpson
對於未來的策略就是繼續讓Geico繼續保持成長。單純的策略就是成為提供最佳服務的低成本業者,這自然會讓未來的市占率提高。
如果是個低成本營運業者,自然會提供最佳服務;反過來說,除非你是個長期的低成本業者,否則也不可能提供最佳服務,因為消費者會把兩者視為相同。

2.負責蓋可保險資本配置的Louis Simpson
(1)獨立思考,避開非理性行為與情緒。
(2)投資追求股東利益的高報酬事業。評估企業經營者時,思考下列問題:經營者是否持有公司的明顯股權?是否坦誠對待股東?經營者是否願意放棄不賺錢的業務?
最重要的問題則是經營者是否願利用超額現金買回自家股票?因賺錢事業的經營者經常運用超額現金擴張某些比較不賺錢的業務,很多情況下,剩餘資金運用於購回庫藏股,效率往往最高。
(3)即使是最優異的事業,其投資也只能支付合理價格
(4)長期投資。對於追求股東利益的優質企業,其股票很有機會創造平均水準以上的長期報酬。
(5)投資不可太過分散。買進代表整體市場的眾多股票,非常不可能創造突出的績效。

3.波克夏再保的Ajit Jain
(1)最簡單的決策就是對自己不喜歡的交易說不。最困難的決策則是對自己還在觀望的交易說Yes,因為如果還在觀望就應該說不,但每隔一陣子發現需要去做的種種理由而被捲入,這往往是相當主觀的取捨。
(2)避免發生愚蠢的錯誤,盡可能預先評估較易可能涉及的風險。最糟的情況就是根本沒想到的事情回頭糾纏。

二.三大傳奇創辦人CEO的經營宗旨
1.內布拉斯加家具商場的Rose Blumkin
-顧客優先,讓他們得到真正想要的,他們就會繼續回來。

2.飛安國際公司的A.L. Ueltschi
-必須對於其他東西有貢獻,不要只執著於銀行帳戶。個人所經營的事業必須對於其他人的福利有所貢獻

3.商務客機公司的Richard Santulli
-提供客戶難以抗拒的服務。
=>三人的特色都是讓公司對客戶提供有意義的服務,也就是創造卓越的價值給客戶,然後轉換為自身的卓越經濟價值。

三.波克夏六大家族企業繼承人CEO對於對手的看法
1.內布拉斯加家具商場的繼承人Irvin Blumkin對於未來競爭者的看法是「任何想要再可支配所得分逼杯羹的業者,不一定要來自家具、電器或家用品產業。威脅可能來自旅遊業、汽車經銷商或任何其他大型零售業者,都是潛在競爭對手」
因此他並不把自己侷限在家具零售產業。
2.喬登家具公司的艾略特則說「最大的競爭對手可能不是來自其他家具業者,而是來自販售各種消費產品的業者。汽車、電腦與其他商品,他們在很多方面都比家具更刺激、更具吸引力」
=>兩人對於競爭對手的看法顯示出他們經營的格局,而這策略也才是真正的回到顧客身上去思考。


四.波克夏六大家族企業經理人
賀茲伯格鑽石公司Jeff Comment
「對我來說,生命的意義就是留下成就,我經常告訴我的小孩,人生的意義是『你做了什麼事情讓這個世界變更好?』當你觀察人生想要遺留下來的成就,就能確定自己設定的優先順序是否正確。
。對於我來說,最優先者是信仰,其次是家庭,然後就是我如何對待那些我在人生旅途中曾經遇到的人們。」

五.Buffet看待波克夏執行長的報酬
(1)資金不是免費。當旗下企業使用大量資本投資時,波克夏會對其額外使用的資本收取較高的成本,而釋放出來的資本也同樣可以認列較高的績效,紅利計算是對等的。
(2)所有的薪酬方案,所謂的利益一致,是要同時涵蓋上檔和下檔,而不只是賺錢的時候。
