Why you should read The Warren Buffett CEO

Robert Miles knows Warren Buffett, and it’s clear that he also knows a thing or two about the people who run the companies in Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway. Armed with information gleaned from eight months of intensive interviews, Miles uncovers what makes a Berkshire manager tick, and covers the workings of Berkshire, itself, as well. Writing through the voices of the CEOs he portrays, Miles skillfully weaves the colorful histories of 18 firms into a revealing set of success stories. Many tales are similar - the CEOs love their companies; they worked hard to build solid businesses and no one regrets selling his firm to Berkshire. They all sound genuinely happier than you might possibly believe, and each chapter has business models you shouldn’t miss. getAbstract.com invites any executive to enter these pages for an insider’s view (still, it doesn’t hurt to remember, they all knew Warren was gonna read it).
