内容简介

From John Mack, former CEO of Morgan Stanley, an intimate personal memoir and riveting business story, recounting how he helped grow the company from 300 to 50,000 employees over four decades, transformed a notoriously competitive culture into a successful and collaborative one, and lead the company through the 2008 financial crisis.

During his thirty-four-year tenure at Morgan Stanley, John Mack’s goal was to build the strongest and most productive team on Wall Street. His ability to motivate his employees to do their best work, especially in times of crisis, was fostered by his willingness to slash through bureaucracy and stand up to powerful interests. A forceful personality, one journalist said Mack was “described as ‘charismatic’ so regularly that it could be part of his name.”

In Up Close and All In, Mack traces his personal journey from a one-stoplight North Carolina mill town to a fortieth-floor corner office on Wall Street—and shares the life lessons he learned along the way. He developed a titanium-strength stomach for risk, stress, and competition while landing accounts early in his career, as investment banks fought like wolfpacks to take advantage of new deregulation, fielding business raids, booms, and busts. As he rose through the ranks, he never forgot where he came from, relying on his instincts, doing what was right, and listening to his people on the front lines. This culture of trust and collaboration helped Morgan Stanley anticipate future trends before other firms, adapt quickly, and achieve record profits.

This gripping memoir includes both humbling lows—like when Mack made the difficult decision to leave Morgan Stanley in 2001—and exhilarating highs—such as when he made an eleventh-hour agreement with the Japanese bank Mitsubishi to save the company during the 2008 financial crisis, having refused to give in when top regulators pressured him to sell the firm for $2 per share.

With humor and honesty, Mack shares advice on both business and life: how to create a culture of team players, how to keep perspective during crises, how to make difficult decisions when all eyes are on you, and more. From a singular man who’s as unafraid to cry publicly as he is to anger some of the most powerful people in the world, this is an indispensable guide to living and leading well.

    摩根斯坦利前 CEO 的自传,最高光时刻应该是顶着财政部长、美联储主席和纽约联储主席的压力拒绝向摩根大通出售摩根斯坦利,从日本三菱集团融到 90 亿美元,帮助摩根斯坦利度过了难关(高盛是靠巴菲特买了优先股 + 认股权证),这才是真正的领导力。处理和妻子、孩子们关系的部分也值得好好学习,多做一个倾听者,积极听取别人的想法,才能让关系越来越融洽。最后感谢 @德国夕阳君 的推荐,不然要错过这样一本好书了。10-18

    看的是台湾繁体翻译版,08年金融危机的应对写的非常精彩,体现领导魄力的尖峰时刻,也披露了很多当时各种谈判的内幕。还挺坦诚的是,带老婆出公差招待客户公款报销之类这些细节也不避讳。05-05
