IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...
But for argument’s sake, let’s move to the realm of logic. At present, Ajit heads Berkshire’s Reinsurance business, which is only the ‘third-largest’ amongst Buffett’s insurance empire – indeed a small fragment of the vast Berkshire empire. And if you considered that insurance segment contributes to more than 50% of Berkshire’s annual revenues in 2008, we would rather have Tony Nicely, CEO of GEICO (Berkshire’s largest insurance player) or Joseph Brandon’s successor at General Re (the second largest in the segment) as the more ‘logical’ choice. As far as leadership and manpower count is concerned, Ajit only has 31 people in his company. For records, that is just a negligible 0.01% of the total count of manpower at Berkshire Hathaway! Can a person with that little ‘leadership’ experience head a group with more than 300,000 people?
Alright, if we play to the grandstand – as Warren has mastered over the years – and simply choose Ajit because “Warren has mentioned him in his letter,” then allow the blundering me to inform you, Warren does that ever year. Not counting this time, Buffett had flattered Ajit 5 times in the past 13 years (in his annual letters to his shareholders)! And if I go by the same logic, then the world would have had 21 prospective Berkshire CEOs since 1995. Wonder how? Besides praising Jain 5 times, the grandiose Buffett has praised Tony Nicely (CEO, GEICO) 9 times, Kevin Clayton (CEO, Clayton Homes) 2 times, Richard Santulli (CEO, NetJets) 3 times, Joseph Brandon (Former CEO, General Re) 2 times! If efficient succession planning policy was to be decided on the count, all is lost.
