Scott Dinsmore (LiveYourLegend.net) posting his annual round-up of the
Berkshire Hathaway meeting, made some points about what he has learned
there.

Wouldn$B!G(Bt it be nice if the ministry got the point and let you Paint Your
Own Painting.

14. Purpose is the ultimate compensation. Job satisfaction and loyalty come
from the autonomy to do the work that matters to you, not from a lofty
salary or bonus. Every manager at Berkshire is independently wealthy, yet
they can$B!G(Bt wait to come to work every day. $B!H(BThey get to paint 
their own
paintings,$B!I(B as Buffett says. Give people autonomy and trust to do things
they are good at. Avoid micro-managing. Don$B!G(Bt think you can do their 
skill
better than they can. Give them the paintbrush and freedom to build upon
their vision and that$B!G(Bs what they$B!G(Bll do. Daniel Pink has an 
excellent TED
talk on The Surprising Science of Motivation

The same goes for why Warren and Charlie, in their 80$B!l(Bs, have no interest
in retiring:

$B!H(BWe get the opportunity to paint our own painting every day and 
it$B!G(Bs a
painting that will never be finished. We love it.$B!I(B - Warren Buffett

You can$B!G(Bt infuse passion into someone, but you can certainly create a
system that takes passion out. When in doubt, give those around you the
brush. [Tweet this Lesson
