when you’re that rational, you do have to ask why it’s worth living that rich…

Parkinson’s law – which states that work expands to fill the time allotted to it – explains why Warren Buffet and his few employees can achieve more than much larger organizations. Unecessary complexity introduces inneficiency.

The Buffett story is amazing. I think more companies should try Buffetts strategy although it can be difficult to do. What buffet does with so few employees and so effectively is amazing. It’s amazing what one can do with the right employees.

$40 bilion may make it easier to tolerate mistakes but that isn’t the point is it?

I would think the point is to decide which gives better results:
a) To punish all mistakes (and mistake makers) or
b) To rationally chose what kinds of mistakes to roll with and what kind are a firing offense and then be consistent.

Buffett would have learned from Ben Graham to get the personal emotions (like feeling intolerant of a big mistake) out of investment and business decision making.

I would hope the fact that he’s rich hasn’t affected his approach to mistakes. It’s not rational or intelligent.
