This was not a great book, because Miles is an unabashed Berkshire fanboy. The chapters quickly take on a repetitive feel — the first parts are always about the history of the business and the manager, but quickly give way to a lot of backslapping and gushing about Buffett and the awesomeness of being a part of Berkshire. That isn’t to say that Buffett and Berkshire aren’t great, but all the backslapping gets old after maybe five chapters. I’m giving the book three stars because it’s still usefu...
In my opinion, this is a must read for any aspiring CEO, future business tycoon, investor or anyone interested in what makes successful businesses. The book profiles a small sub-section of the business leaders from some of the companies that Buffet, by way of his company Berkshire Hathaway acquired through the years. Don't believe me? Ok how about Warren himself: Warren Buffett's Recommended-Reading List (And no, he didn't write, or conceive this book, he just endorses it).In this text, you get
I love learning through the story of other people. Each chapter in this book was insightful in a different way, and helped demonstrate the values Berkshire is built on.
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...

Multi generational means the business has been around for a l...
Waste of time.
A deep and thorough analysis of which types of companies and their (business) leaders does the greatest investor, Warren Buffet, select. Anyone reading this book shall emerge a better investor.
This didn't quite answer the questions I hoped it would.
Outstanding individuals who are led by an extraordinary man.
Insightful book.
Does this biz delights its customers? Is it customer centric?Does the company have the kind of culture that I want to work in?https://youtu.be/h89uOvUDVO4
Great book about what it is like to work for Mr. Buffett and gives insight into how to be a good manager.
It got much better toward the end of the book.
A clinical account of the trusted set of CEOs who make Berkshire Hathway the company it is! The Chapters on Ajit Jain and Charlie Munger make for some riveting reading!
