NEW YORK (Fortune) -- Man doth not live by financial capital alone but also by human capital. And, of course, Warren Buffett had a lot to say about that, too.
"It's vital to be able to communicate well," he said. "Just being able to communicate with others on the job adds at least 50% to your value." Apt words indeed from the man whose annual report (I would guess) is read by more people than all of the other annual reports in the world combined, and whose words have probably saved more lives than any book except the Bible.
"It's also incredibly important to get along with people," Buffett also said. He talked at length about his early days working with Ben Graham's firm and how he made it a point to not only work very hard but to get along well with everyone he worked with, and still makes it a point. He spoke highly of an old standard, Dale Carnegie's "How To Win Friends and Influence People" -- a book that still teaches me and one that I consult almost every day.
