Back in January, took a group of Desautels students to meet Warren Buffett at his Omaha offices. Mr. Buffett is known to be an introvert, and his conduct during the visit bore that out; rather than expounding on everything that came up, Mr. Buffett stuck to speaking on subjects he knows well. He also avoided working the crowd, rather staying with a small group of students and having a full-on conversation.
Prof. Moore compares this with fellow Desautels professor , who is also an introvert — and who shares Mr. Buffett’s penchant for extreme care with his words. Prof. Moore says that extroverts like himself could learn a few things from their more introverted colleagues.
