I had accepted to run the super page for Goldman Sachs (GS) on the 2nd of February. February is running out and I am yet to complete it. I feel bad every time I remember that I am behind schedule for that particular super page.

As it stands, I was able to have about 3800+ words of text around GS. In the course of researching the company's history and leadership roles, I learned a lot about certain people and how their careers had been ignited and propelled by working with the company.
Some of the leaders had qualities that they brought to the company and helped it to move forward. And others had qualities they learned in the course of carrying out their roles.
The most amazing thing is that the leaders in the company were able to put the company's success first and they did all that they can to make sure GS succeeds and becomes an industrial name in the world of investment banking and financials.
Did they succeed? Yes, history has a lot to tell about each leader who had taken it upon themselves to take their leadership positions seriously and how they maneuvered through difficult and different economic downturns and turmoils to make GS what it is today.
One important lesson that GS taught me was the essence of timing and longevity. It's the fact that the long-term outlook on each of the things we want to do in life isn't taught and imprinted in our hearts enough. I am very sure that GS wouldn't have gotten to where it is today if the leaders were sharing the profits generated in the past recklessly.
But each individual had seen to it that those profits were reinvested and used well. This is clearly proven by the various expansions that took place over the years in GS and the risks and exposure that they allowed the company to go through when they invested in newer markets.
Goldman Sachs does have its leaders to thank for their unprecedented achievements and it's a lesson worth sharing.
What I'm I saying? If you are looking to build anything, remember that slow and steady wins the race. And that having a long-term outlook in mind will serve you better than pursuing short-term profits.
I do apologize to the community and the Leoglossay team for taking so long on this. But the first part has been updated and published. I am working on the linking tonight. So you can waltz in and read through each leader who had impacted Goldman Sachs and how they did massively well. At the same time, stay tuned for future updates on that super page. Thank you.
