Editorial Reviews
Review
‘In this pacey, highly readable book, James O’Loughlin reveals Mr Buffett’s pre-eminent skills as a manager of people and capital. This book deserves praise for its broad scope.’ —The Daily Telegraph, Your Money
‘Fresh and rewarding insight…an important and inspiring book.’ —
The Good Book Guide
‘A timely and insightful account of the career and achievements of the head of Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett’s investment business…Above all Buffett is revealed as a thoughtful long-term investor, or capital allocator as he calls it, who rejects fads and fashions, and who will not be taken in by the latest big thing. As this intelligently written and neatly set out book shows, it is a formula that has proved amazingly successful, and rewarding, for four decades.’ –Accounting & Business, Book of the Month
‘Buy and hold, as a stock analyst would say. O’Loughlin digs into the deeper business story: how Buffett uses capital and gets his managers to think like owners. He has uncovered a simple model of clever management that many companies can follow with profit.’ –Carol Kennedy,
Director
‘A timely new book about the Sage of Omaha’s management practices shows how after Enron and the dot.com bubble the multibillionaire was right about everything.’ —
