Charlie Munger
Co-Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway
1924-2023
It’s been said that the purpose of education is not to teach us what to think, but how to think. If a successful life is any indication that one has mastered the art of critical thinking, I nominate the recently deceased Charlie Munger of Berkshire Hathaway for a lifetime achievement award.
This article from Chief Executive Magazine provides a terrific executive summary of Mr. Munger’s checklist for decision making that he and Warren Buffett applied so successfully to their Berkshire Hathaway holdings. “Munger, like Buffett, believed a successful investment career boils down to just a handful of decisions.“
I hope you’ll spend a few minutes learning How Munger Did It: Lessons for the Board and CEOs.
