companion talking with him and encouraging him, he was trying to reinvent investment management. The
Renaissance of Value, published by
The Financial Analysts Research
Foundation, was a preliminary report
on the work that he'd been doing. He
thought that he had found another way
to outperform the market.
That, I think, is where great professionalism comes from. It's an inner
drive; when you find it, support it and
nurture it in any way you can.
Jack Hogge asked today, "What should
you do if you can only do one thing?" A
good answer is one that was given, "I
hope to tell each person working for me
exactly how I think they are doing,
always." My own answer would have
been, "I hope to find wonderful talent,"
because there's so little more we can do
after we've done that. The wonderful
talents are the geniuses behind all the
really successful firms. The extremely
successful firms are the ones who don't
mess this up. They give talent the room
to do first-rate work and encourage it.
That's a very delicate process.
