In his new memoir 'Streetwise', former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein credits his persistent anxiety as a key factor in his leadership success during a transformative period for the firm. Goldman Sachs, under Blankfein's tenure, navigated the 2008 financial crisis and executed major deals, including the controversial sale of its asset management arm, BlackRock, in 2006. Anxiety provided Blankfein with the vigilance needed to steer the firm through turbulent markets and complex regulatory challenges. The memoir offers Wall Street insiders a rare glimpse into the psychological pressures faced by the industry's top executives.
