As something of a greybeard who’s enjoyed his share of success over the years, I’m in the privileged position of being approached for advice by a variety of people on a weekly basis.
It’s part of the reason I took to blogging in fact. I figured it would be a more effective way of sharing what I’ve learnt over my career than communicating it on a personal basis. Hopefully my efforts to date have helped someone out there already!
There’s one question that comes up time and again in my dealings with younger executives and entrepreneurs: who should they look to for leadership? Who is the contemporary figure with the most to teach them?
The usual suspects come up pretty early here and we’ve referred to many of them already on these pages before. Should it be Elon Musk? Peter Thiel perhaps? Or maybe Tim Cook?
My answer is nearly always the same and it’s amazing how many of the younger generation have never heard of him – Charlie Munger.
