Maggiori informazioni sul libro

From Blackstone chairman and CEO Stephen A. Schwarzman comes a long-awaited book that draws on impactful episodes from his life to guide readers in building, transforming, and leading successful organizations. Whether you're a student, entrepreneur, philanthropist, or executive, the lessons within are universally applicable. While many recognize Schwarzman as the co-founder of Blackstone, the investment firm managing over $500 billion, his journey is rooted in a deep understanding of excellence and impact. Starting in his father's linen shop, he aspired to a life of purpose and adventure. His finance career began at DLJ, followed by a pivotal role at Lehman Brothers, where he led the mergers and acquisitions practice. Partnering with mentor Pete Peterson, Schwarzman founded Blackstone with the vision of creating a unique financial institution. Building it into a global leader was no easy feat; his mantra "don't lose money" has been crucial in establishing Blackstone as a top private equity and real estate investor. Through insights on deal-making, leadership, and philanthropy, Schwarzman shares valuable lessons on ambition, risk, and the relentless pursuit of excellence, offering readers a practical blueprint for achieving success.
