I believe that Buffett is an extremely rare breed among executives, which is kind of bizarre since he is the world's most successful businessman and you'd think he'd be more frequently emulated. In my experience, you should always take the high road and do what's right. That might end up costing a few pennies in the near term, but it almost always pays off down the road. Oh, and by the way... I think Berkshire Hathaway's website is awful. There's one area he has stepped wrong. I agree Everett… and that’s a very good thing for folks like me running PR agencies!

As such, I think his point about not needing PR people is fair...for him. Some people just know how to always make the right call and/or answer the tough questions. That said, there aren't nearly enough of them out there to put us out of a job. I agree that Buffett’s probably the prototypical PR-conscious executive.
