Warren Buffett explains the 3 main tasks for a board of directors

[@do_regan]

1) Pick the right CEO. 2) Keep that CEO in check (people w/ big jobs can often have big egos and like to make big deals w/ other people's money). 3) Solicit unbiased/independent judgement regarding acquisitions. "You better be getting at least as much as you're giving." Don't be flippant about dilution, it lasts forever.

2) yup...

[@ConnorBriggs]

Solicit who?

BUFFETT AND MUNGER THE TWO SMARTEST GUYS IN THE WORLD 🌎...👍

I agree most acquisitions are duds. Valuations are too high, cultures clash, and synergies almost never materialize.

Thank you for these wonderful videos. They may not be the best kind of content for monetization but they're very enlightening for those who are interested. :)

Boards are paid to be impressive and agree with management.

We had a large regional hardware store in our city. Along came a company with an ambitious CEO of another chain who bought them out. Unfortunately, within two years, he had bought out 5 other companies. He never invested anything in making the stores more attractive to customers. He just wanted to be biggest. The company crashed, the local store collapsed with everything else, and we had one less place to buy hardware items. I think another example is Elon Musk. He founded Tesla with the idea of making an impact on the environment. However, as time went by, it was not enough for him. He founded the Boring Company so he would not have to fight traffic, SpaceX because, hey space, and Twitter, because he was running into people who would still say no to him and did not like it. I think his lack of focus means that Tesla would be better off without him. Instead, the board of directors gave him whopping bonus which will enable to pursue his other ventures to the neglect of his most important contribution.

The narrative of this content is rich with inspiration. A book with related themes profoundly influenced me. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight

Interesting... OXY management doesn’t seem to have passed these requirements. Very ironic indeed...
