A management book by David Sokol, who built MidAmerican Energy and ran it as a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary, setting out the operating philosophy behind the title — that a business running well is never a reason to stop improving it. The source list glosses the company as “a Berkshire Hathaway company”, which is how the book is usually placed.
Why it’s on the list: Appears on @mastersinvest’s 2025 reading list, a feed that skews heavily toward company and founder biography.
Where I saw it: @mastersinvest’s “2025 Reading … so far” list, August 20, 2025. The full 46-title list is transcribed on 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet).
Connections
- 2025 Reading So Far… (tweet) — the list this came from.
- Berkshire Hathaway — the parent of the business Sokol ran, and the frame the source list uses for the book.
