Buffett insiders and bestselling authors Mary Buffett and David Clark provide a new angle to help readers understand and emulate Warren Buffett’s success—his philosophy for managing career, money, business, and life.
Even in today's economic climate, when so many investors and major companies are failing, Warren Buffett continues to succeed in all aspects of his life. Mary Buffett and David Clark have written the first book ever to take an in-depth look at Warren Buffett's philosophies for personal and professional management—what they are, how they work, and how you can use them.
Through close examination of Warren Buffett's life and career from his earliest days to now, Buffett and Clark shed light on his decision-making processes and reveal his strategies for keeping on track and maintaining focus. They examine Buffett's inimitable leadership qualities and explain how Warren integrated what he learned over time into a winning management formula and became not only the manager whom other managers want to emulate but also the second richest man in the world.
A true companion volume to Buffett and Clark's successful Buffettology series, Warren Buffett's Management Secrets is filled with anecdotes and quotes that show how Buffett's life philosophies are reflected in his business decisions and in the way he manages people and businesses. This insider's view into Warren Buffett's management techniques offers simple solutions for success to newcomers and seasoned Buffettologists alike and illustrates how and why success in business and life usually go hand in hand.

“Though Mary Buffett’s reading is slow paced…her closeness to her father adds something to this uncomplicated lesson on how the investing icon manages his world. The authors summarize Warren Buffett’s career and investment philosophy. But the enduring message in this primer is how he improves his chances of success by choosing businesses with a competitive advantage and only hiring CEOs with the necessary skills, integrity, and passion. He’s a proactive leader who motivates his people by praising freely, respecting boundaries, and delegating liberally. The Zen-like lesson in Buffett’s management style is that you succeed more and struggle less when you are thoughtful about what you bring into your life and careful about how you manage it.”
