Last year I came out of the BRK annual meeting and thought that Greg Abel was not the right person to run Berkshire Hathaway. Abel lacked Buffett’s charisma, warmth, and humor. I remember telling a friend that listening to him at the annual meeting was like listening to another consultant-turned-executive: proper, boring, with a very narrow corporate-speak vocabulary. Greg Abel was not Buffett and he definitely was not Munger.
I was wrong.
