Conversation with Rob Wertheimer: Studying Great Industrials & Searching for Compounders

I’m very excited to share my conversation with Rob Wertheimer of Melius Research and one of the co-authors of Lessons from the Titans (my notes)

I really enjoyed digging into the book’s big themes around the culture, business systems, and leadership of some of the most successful industrial companies. Rob shared his lessons on finding other compounders, evaluating leaders, digging into incentive structures, touring factories, and the best research note he ever wrote - but never published.
