David Solomon

Goldman Sachs, CEO
EPISODE 137

Take the long view

Every leader feels a pressure to deliver. People want results, and they want them now.

Because of that, it’s easy to get short-sighted. Sometimes, we don’t really give ourselves permission to think too far ahead. 

But if you want success that’s sustainable, you’ve got to learn how to take a longer view of things. 

That’s exactly what you’ll learn from today’s guest, David Solomon. He’s the CEO of Goldman Sachs, one of the most renowned companies in the financial industry.

David faces a lot of short-term pressures. But those don’t keep him from looking down the road and taking a long-term approach.

In this conversation, you’re gonna learn how it’s done – and why it’s crucial for any leader who wants to build trust and be a part of something that lasts.

You’ll also learn:

  • An economic outlook and summary that every leader needs to hear right now
  • 3 questions to evaluate your career path
  • An important mindset shift you need to make if your company operates in multiple divisions
  • Why it’s important to make time for your hobbies (you won’t believe David’s side hustle!)
