Having been in the firm through its worst times, have seen this leader at work.. and he is brilliant! What does come across quite strongly is his humour, as well as the strength that he portrays, even in those very tough times... This link below is a lecture he gave at Wharton, about leadership.. An interesting lecture for anyone who wants to get an insider view to what all happened during those months in the banking industry.. Wharton leadership lecture by John Mack
