Description
Goldman Sachs: The Culture of Success By Lisa Endlich This study examines the history and mystique of investment bank Goldman Sachs, one of Wall Street's last major private partnerships. A former senior executive shares insights into the firm's prevailing concept: People and Culture, which contributed to its remarkable success for most of its 129-year history. The book documents how close client contact, teamwork, and a focus on long-term profitability over short-term goals brought Goldman Sachs to a peak of $3 billion pretax profits in 1997. The partners' decision to go public in June 1998 marked a significant shift for the company. Endlich's analysis provides a unique perspective on the firm's culture and its role in sustaining success for decades, making this book an interesting read for those interested in finance, business, or social history.
