“Intensity Is Overrated, Consistency is Underrated”

Fascinating discussion by Shane Parrish on Peter D. Kaufman:

“Peter has been the chairman and CEO of GlenAir since 1977. And he’s got a track record that puts him in the top 0.001% of business leaders during that time. He’s also the editor of Poor Charlie’s Almanack and was one of Charlie Munger’s closest friends for decades.

In a talk never meant to be made public, he revealed the secrets of multidisciplinary thinking. Someone unfortunately recorded the talk without his permission. It became hugely popular, and eventually Peter allowed the complete talk to be transcribed and posted on FS.”
