'This story literally has what it takes: the anecdotes, the
insights and, most of all, the values to guide the next generation
of entrepreneurs.' Mark Carney 'The real story of what it takes
from a man who could turn dreams into realities.' Ray Dalio
'Candid, funny and real, Steve offers wisdom and the gift of
much-needed common sense chapter by chapter and experience by
experience. A great read!' John Kerry From Blackstone chairman, CEO
and co-founder Stephen A. Schwarzman, a long-awaited book that uses
impactful episodes from Schwarzman's life to show readers how to
build, transform and lead thriving organisations. Whether you are a
student, entrepreneur, philanthropist, executive or simply someone
looking for ways to maximise your potential, the same lessons
apply. People know who Stephen Schwarzman is - at least they think
they do. He's the man who took $400,000 and co-founded Blackstone,
the investment firm that manages over $500 billion (as of January
2019). He's the CEO whose views are sought by heads of state. But
behind these achievements is a man who has spent his life learning
and reflecting on what it takes to achieve excellence, make an
impact, and live a life of consequence. Folding handkerchiefs in
his father's linen shop, Schwarzman dreamed of a larger life,
filled with purpose and adventure. After starting his career in
finance with a short stint at a financial firm called DLJ,
Schwarzman began working at Lehman Brothers where he ascended to
run the mergers and acquisitions practice. He eventually partnered
with his mentor and friend Pete Peterson to found Blackstone,
vowing to create a new and different kind of financial institution.
Building Blackstone into the leading global financial institution
it is today didn't come easy. Schwarzman's simple mantra 'don't
lose money' has helped Blackstone become a leading private equity
and real estate investor, and manager of alternative assets for
institutional investors globally. From deal-making to investing,
leadership to entrepreneurship, philanthropy to diplomacy,
Schwarzman has lessons for how to think about ambition and scale,
risk and opportunities, and how to achieve success through the
relentless pursuit of excellence. Schwarzman not only offers
readers a thoughtful reflection on all his own experiences, but in
doing so provides a practical blueprint for success.
