Leadership requires... Hiring the right people...

“Picking the right person…(is) not an easy task. It’s not hard, of course, to find smart people, among them individuals who have impressive…records. But there is far more to successful long term investing than brains and performance… We need someone genetically programmed to recognize and avoid serious risks, including those never before encountered…Temperament is also important. Independent thinking, emotional stability, and a keen understanding of both human and institutional behavior are vital to long-term investment success. I’ve seen a lot of very smart people who have lacked these virtues.” Buffett, 2006.
