Harvard University was a total moonshot, and his outsider status never wore off, there or at Harvard Law. When he struck people as street-y, it wasn't Wall Street they were thinking of. But if the chip never quite left Blankfein's shoulder, neither did a wry, resilient spirit and a lucid, democratic intelligence that saw through airs and found talent and ideas in unlikely places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStreetwise\u003c\/em\u003e 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; changing when times are hard and when they're good; managing risk; and knowing a crisis is at hand before it swamps you so you can guide your team to the further shore. Blankfein is famed for his calm hand on Goldman Sachs's tiller during the global financial crisis, and that story is told in full here, among many other decisive episodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA powerful blueprint for the wise stewardship of a cause that is larger than yourself, \u003cem\u003eStreetwise\u003c\/em\u003e will inspire and inform readers throughout the global business community and beyond.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47074261827820,"sku":"9781398725492","price":33.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/0a72794cd8427dfc16f7e4340bdc9c3f.jpg?v=1765177076"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/lloyd-blankfein.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
