Warren Buffett offers up management advice to Boston business leaders

The Berkshire Hathaway chief executive nursed a bottle of Coca-Cola — both a favorite drink and a favorite stock — as he fielded questions from Boston Globe managing director Linda Henry and several of the Boston business leaders who packed a clubroom overlooking the snow-covered ballfield for the latest HubWeek “Curated Conversation.”
