Liebe Chefs: Was ist natürliche Autorität?

Das da:

Wir lernen: Aufrechter Gang, Zielstrebigkeit, gerader Blick, ein konservativer Anzug – und schon kuscht das Fussvolk.

Die ersten Bilder des Sequel von «Wall Street» geistern herum. In der Neuauflage des stilbildenden Films von 1987 spielt Michael Douglas wieder den Raider Gordon Gekko – diesmal ohne Hosenträger.

Im Bild: Douglas/Gekko (rechts) neben Shia LeBeouf und Bretton James.

Shia LeBeouf spielt einen Hedge-Fund-Trader, und zur Vorbereitung recherchierte er auch bei den Wallstreet-Banken. In «USA Today» verriet der Schauspieler einen Trick für Bewerber bei Goldman Sachs:
«Ich habe eine Menge mit Goldman-Sachs-Leuten geredet, und die erste Anforderung, um dort einen Job zu bekommen, gibt es in den ersten fünf Minuten: Sie führen dich aus zum Essen. Dann kommt die Speisekarte, und wenn du nicht innert 30 Sekunden weisst, was du bestellst, kriegst du den Job nicht.»

Bewerben bei Goldman Sachs, 2. Teil

Goldman Sachs zählt zu den kompetitivsten Banken der Welt. Die Anforderungen an ihre Bewerber gelten als besonders hoch. Damit das eigene CV nicht in der Versenkung verschwindet, hat sich ein unbekannter Bewerber gemäss «Hereisthecity» bei seinem Begleitschreiben besonders Mühe gegeben. Er nimmt die Anforderung, bis zum Maximum und darüber hinaus zu arbeiten, wörtlich:

«As of this moment you probably have never heard of me before and I accept that, but in five years you will look back unable to imagine life without me. My desire to succeed in the investment industry is beyond comparison and I will not stop working towards this goal until my heart stops beating.

I would love to say my parents or teachers in the past taught me the value of investments and the proper ways to handle them at a young age, but this would not be the truth. The truth is my mind created the concept before I was even old enough to understand it.

At age 6, I would buy candy from Sam's Club wholesale and trade it in the lunchroom for items several times its value. At age 11, I purchased a $180 TV for my brother and charged him $10 a week for 25 weeks. Even as I write this letter, I'm getting phone calls and text messages from people asking what stocks I put my money in today and where they should put theirs tomorrow.

This is the life I live every day but I don't want to stay like this forever, I want to learn and I don't want to settle. Goldman Sachs is where I want to work and there's no alternative in my mind. Allow me this opportunity and I will be the best investor you have ever seen. I will work non stop to make sure Goldman Sachs stays on top for as long as I breathe. I'm not asking you to do this for me, I'm asking you to do this for us.»

Aus dem Lebenslauf:

«I do not quit. I will achieve greatness. To me, failure is an opportunity to do better next time and a lesson learned. I do not work for status or prestige, I believe that the only way to true success is perfecting the arts of communication and efficiency both in and out of the workplace. I listen before I judge and I think before I speak; it is these qualities that make up my character and allow me to perform the tasks I take on with greater efficiency than others.

Time is precious, sacred precious; it is one thing we can never get back and one thing I do not intend to waste. I work well even in an atmosphere of urgency and still understand the importance of patience. I am forever learning and I sincerely hope in the near future we can begin to learn from one another.»

«Das geht in Ordnung. Die gehen nur mit ihrem Bonus fort.»

«Citigroup announced it is paying taxpayers back the $20 billion in bailout money it took.
Wells Fargo announced it's paying back $25 billion it borrowed.
And Bank of America says they've paid back the $45 billion in taxpayer money they borrowed.

So the good news is taxpayers got their money back from Wall Street.
The bad news?
Congress has it. You'll never see it again, O.K.? It is gone. It is gone forever.»

Schon wieder «Gottes Werk»?
