From the long-tenured head Goldman Sachs - an institution legendary for its culture of success - comes a candid memoir of global leadership in an age of extreme turbulence. 'Lloyd Blankfein is scary smart about people markets and life generally. His 10 000 Small Businesses idea proved to be a huge winner and I personally witnessed the time and effort he devoted to its success. During the 2008-2009 financial crisis Lloyd acted decisively and he tells the story of what happened with unique insights.' WARREN BUFFETT 'Lloyd Blankfein has always been a straight shooter but his journey from public housing to the heights of Wall Street wasn't a straight line. Streetwise is packed with important lessons about leadership risk-taking decision-making and giving back.' MICHAEL BLOOMBERG When Lloyd Blankfein was attacked as a Wall Street fat cat he had to smile thinking of his precarious childhood in the notorious public housing projects of East New York Brooklyn and attending a high school so chaotic he didn't feel safe leaving class to go to the bathroom in his time there. 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. Streetwise 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. A powerful blueprint for the wise stewardship of a cause that is larger than yourself Streetwise will inspire and inform readers throughout the global business community and beyond.
