When you read "The Snowball," you'll find that Warren Buffett is a master of inspirational quotes. He never criticizes others in public and never argues with people. He always encourages people in a Carnegie-esque manner. When dealing with incorrigible individuals, he typically uses the board of directors to collectively carry out dismissals or uses the law to enforce salary reductions. Even after the fact, his evaluations always leave room, never burning bridges or losing his temper.
