Über diesen Titel

 '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

Blackstone chairman, CEO and co-founder Stephen A. Schwarzman shows readers how to build, transform and lead thriving organisations.

Stephen Schwarzman took $400,000 and cofounded Blackstone, the investment firm that manages over $500 billion and invests in hundreds of companies globally. He’s the CEO whose views are sought by heads of state around the world and supports universities with funding for cutting edge research and technology. But behind these accomplishments 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.

Schwarzman’s story is an empowering, entertaining and informative guide for anyone striving for greater personal impact. From deal-making to investing, leadership to entrepreneurship, philanthropy to diplomacy, Schwarzman has lessons for how to achieve success through the relentless pursuit of excellence.

Kritikerstimmen

'The real story of what it takes from a man who could turn dreams into realities.' (Ray Dalio, bestselling author of Principles)

'Steve Schwarzman has lived the American dream: a self-made icon in his field, turned philanthropist, who has long worked with creativity and vision to deepen relationships between individuals and countries. Steve shares the full measure of his personal journey with us in What It Takes - part memoir, part playbook for success in any field. Humble, 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, Secretary of State 2013-17)

I love inspiring stories and listening to people talk about their cool life, and some of the advice and stories are great. Still - its hard not to feel nauseous reading the book.

Great advice, but quite self-congratulatory

As someone not from the investment field interesting insights on whats going on in an investment Company like blackstone. Also several critical Situations and how These were handeled are described as well as unusual ideas the author had and executed. Overall an interesting and inspirating book, which i can recommend for readers who like an economic Touch.

First of all, a very good speaker.

The story of a young middle-class student to the most successful businessman / extraordinary philanthropists is truly inspiring. Exciting to learn the insights of the various collaborations of business and politics to make real deals for a better world.

Insightful book

Different book not just focused on success but also on how to deal with failure

A guide for business and life

Schwarzman has a really tiring voice so I am glad he does not speak through the whole book. Also a lot of boasting in the book but I guess thats because it is a biographybof himself so...
But all in all a very nice story and very insightful and he makes a very sympathetic impression.

Good book

Easy to listen to and fascinating content. Sometimes somewhat self-centered you might think, though. Good voices/speaker

Interesting story

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.
Interesting if you want to hear a self pride biography of how someone built a large private equity fund but other than that not useful.

It’s a biography nothing else

The first few hours are okay and there are a few take sways other than just learning about Schwarzman‘s child hood and early career, but towards the end it becomes just becomes a deal by Deal description and self-congratulation

Just a biography and only few lessons for excellence
