Discipline and Courage
David Maister highlighted a piece from the Economist in which the forumla for Goldman Sachs success comes from their ability to recognise and act on the fact that team work, values and related intangibles are very hard to do but do drive success
Goldman does not preach different philosophies than most other businesss would preach - commitments to client servoice, teamwork, being a place for the best and the brightest -it just has THE DISCIPLINE and the COURAGE to achieve consistently higher standards on those principles, with fewer compromises.
I wonder how many people would see Goldman, or their own organisation in such a light, or even if Goldman do?
