The Warren Buffett CEO 11: Rich Santulli II


“My circle of competence is that I understand business very well. I understand people very well. I understand the aviation business. I don’t know how to make an airplane and I don’t know how to fly an airplane, but I know what customers—people—like in airplanes. I know that. And I know how to take that and turn it into something that works from an economic point of view.”

“Hire the best people and don’t be afraid they’re going to take over your job. After they show their abilities, empower them and delegate. You have to look long term, and hiring the best employee is one way to ensure your future success.”
