A Real Entrepreneurs Who Do Not Need

I Love The Ability To Work With Very Good Managers, And To Provide The Right Incentives For Them, And Truly Become A Partner With That Management, And Make That Management Take A Long View.

As I Said There Is Nothing Wrong With Failing. Pick Yourself Up And Try It Again. You Never Are Going To Know How Good You Really Are Until You Go Out And Face Failure.

It's Not Just Buying The Company. Sure, We Picked The Right Companies, And We Picked The Right Management And, Most Importantly, We've Given Them The Right Incentive To Perform.

In The Large Buy Out Space, Which Is Where We (kohlberg Kravis Roberts) Focus Our Efforts, There Are Relatively Few Firms With The Capital, Experience, Infrastructure And Networks To Compete Effectively With The Large Complex Companies That We Seek To Acquire.

To Understand Kkr, I Always Like To Say, Don't Congratulate Us When We Buy A Company. Any Fool Can Buy A Company. Congratulate Us When We Sell It And When We've Done Something With It And Created Real Value.
