When Superman Came to Supermarket
Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Charlie Munger all keep the same book on their shortlist of favorites. It's not a tome on technology or innovation. It's a study of eight CEOs you've probably never heard of-leaders who quietly outperformed the S&P 500 by over twenty times and crushed Jack Welch's celebrated tenure at GE. Henry Singleton, the MIT mathematician who ran Teledyne, turned every dollar invested in 1963 into $180 by 1990. Yet he avoided the spotlight so completely that colleagues nicknamed him "the Sphinx." These executives weren't flashy founders building from scratch. They were disciplined, analytical thinkers who mastered capital allocation-the CEO's most important yet least taught responsibility. Their secret? They treated running companies like investing, not managing.
