29. Why Warren
Buffett's Laissez-
Faire Management
Style Works…???

30. “In looking for people to hire, you look for
three qualities: integrity, intelligence and
energy. And if you don’t have the first, the
other two will kill you. You think about it; it’s
true. If you hire somebody without [integrity],
you really want them to be dumb and lazy”
"We tend to let our many subsidiaries operate
on their own, without our supervising and
monitoring them to any degree. Most managers
use the independence we grant them
magnificently, by maintaining an owner-
oriented attitude.“
-Warren Buffett
