Lloyd Blankfein

Streetwise (eBook, ePUB)

Lessons from a Life at Goldman Sachs

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

When Lloyd Blankfein was attacked as a Wall Street fat cat, little did people know of his precarious childhood in the public housing projects of Brooklyn, and a high school so chaotic he didn't feel safe enough to use the bathroom. Harvard was a total moon shot, and his outsider status never wore off. When he struck people as street-y, it wasn't Wall Street they were thinking of. But if the chip never quite left the shoulder, neither did a wry, resilient spirit, and an intelligence that found talent and ideas in unlikely places.

Street Wise is a delightfully honest, sharp and often very funny reckoning with Blankfein's education - in finance, human nature and the workings of the world. It abounds with lessons - about leading teams of brilliant, aggressive, competitive people and harmonising them around shared goals; about changing when times are hard and when they're good; about managing risk; and about knowing a crisis is at hand before it swamps you. Blankfein is famed for his calm hand on Goldman's tiller during the global financial crisis of 2007-2008, and that story is told in full here among many other decisive episodes.

A marvelous blueprint for wise leadership, Street Wise will inspire and inform readers throughout the global business community, and beyond.

Autorenporträt

Lloyd Craig Blankfein is an American investment banker who has served as senior chairman of Goldman Sachs since 2019, and chairman and chief executive from 2006 until the end of 2018. Before leading Goldman Sachs, he was the company's president and chief operating officer (COO) from 2004 to 2006, serving under then-CEO Henry Paulson.

Born and raised in New York City, Blankfein attended Harvard University for his undergraduate and law school studies before briefly entering private law practice. After leading Goldman's currency and commodities divisions from 1994 to 1997 he served as the president and chief operating officer from 2004 to his ascension to chief executive. Almost immediately after Blankfein assumed the head of the company, the financial crisis of 2007-08 hit the banking industry.

Blankfein was twice named one of the most influential people in the world by Time magazine and won the Financial Times Person of the Year award in 2009.
