“Ace Greenberg did almost everything better than I do—bridge, magic
tricks, dog training, and arbitrage—all the important things in
life.” —WARREN BUFFETT Alan C. Greenberg, the former chairman of
Bear, Stearns, and a celebrated philanthropist, was known
throughout the financial world for his biting, quirky but
invaluable and wise memos. Read by everyone from Warren Buffett to
Jeff Bezos to Tom Peters (“I love this book,” the coauthor of In
Search of Excellence said), Greenberg’s MEMOS FROM THE CHAIRMAN
comprise a unique—and uniquely simple—management philosophy. Make
decisions based on common sense. Avoid the herd mentality. Control
expenses with unrelenting vigil. Run your business at the highest
level of morality. Free your motivated, intelligent people from the
chain of command. Always return phone calls promptly and
courteously. Never believe your own body odor is perfume. And stay
humble, humble, humble.
