Warren Buffett’s Quiet Masterclass in Leadership: What He Really Values in People

SB Shashi Bellamkonda Nov 27, 2025 Warren Buffett's Quiet Masterclass in Leadership: What He Really Values in People Warren Buffett's November 10, 2025 letter is not a typical shareholder update. It is a 95-year-old legend passing the baton while quietly teaching the rest of us what actually matters in people and leadership. 1. Temperament first — everything else second "Greg is a great manager, a tireless worker, and an honest communicator… Many of our best managers coincidentally lived for some time in Omaha and developed a balanced outlook on both personal and business matters." No mention of Harvard MBAs or Goldman Sachs pedigrees. Buffett hires for emotional equilibrium and long-term thinking — Omaha just happens to be a reliable filter. 2.

The Planned Solo Economy

  We often view single parenthood through a lens of economic hardship. However, recent data suggests a significant shift that the market has largely ignored: the rise of the intentional single mother. 40% of all births in America are to unmarried women.

A Childhood Tradition, Global Humor, and Why Laughter Might Be the Most Underrated Tool in Your Professional Kit but

  Do you still read the newspaper comics first, the way you did when you were eight? I do. Every morning, with my coffee, I flip (or scroll) straight to Dennis the Menace, Beetle Bailey, Popeye, and Blondie. In my home outside Washington D.C., these same four-panel worlds still make me chuckle out loud—exactly the way they did when I was a kid growing up in India in the 1980s and early 90s. Back then, the Sunday edition of The Times of India or The Hindu carried a full color comics page dominated by American syndicated strips.  Dennis was forever in the doghouse, Sarge was forever screaming at Beetle, Popeye was forever reaching for that can of spinach, and Dagwood was forever building those impossible sandwiches. Beside them sat the brilliant single-panel Amul ads—the mop-top girl with her utterly Indian topical wit—but almost everything else felt deliciously foreign and, somehow, universal at the same time. I don’t remember a single Indian-produced daily comic strip in those...
