The Warren Buffett CEO: The Warren Buffett CEO is less about Buffett as an investor and more about him as a manager. The book shows how Buffett selects the CEOs for Berkshire’s many subsidiaries and how he oversees them. It tells that story through the Berkshire executives.

She met with Buffett and, following the financial mess of 2009, started to see more value in Buffett’s philosophy and value investing methods.
