Stephen A. Schwarzman

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFrom Blackstone chairman, CEO, and co-founder Stephen A. Schwarzman, a long-awaited book that uses impactful episodes from Schwarzman's life to show readers how to build, transform, and lead thriving organizations. Whether you are a student, entrepreneur, philanthropist, executive, or simply someone looking for ways to maximize your potential, the same lessons apply.People know who Stephen Schwarzman is—at least they think they do. He’s the man who took $400,000 and co-founded Blackstone, the investment firm that manages over $500 billion (as of January 2019). He’s the CEO whose views are sought by heads of state. He’s the billionaire philanthropist who founded Schwarzman Scholars, this century’s version of the Rhodes Scholarship, in China. But behind these achievements 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.Folding handkerchiefs in his father’s linen shop, Schwarzman dreamed of a larger life, filled with purpose and adventure. His grades and athleticism got him into Yale. After starting his career in finance with a short stint at a financial firm called DLJ, Schwarzman began working at Lehman Brothers where he ascended to run the mergers and acquisitions practice. He eventually partnered with his mentor and friend Pete Peterson to found Blackstone, vowing to create a new and different kind of financial institution.Building Blackstone into the leading global financial institution it is today didn’t come easy. Schwarzman focused intensely on culture, hiring great talent, and establishing processes that allow the firm to systematically analyze and evaluate risk. Schwarzman’s simple mantra “don’t lose money” has helped Blackstone become a leading private equity and real estate investor, and manager of alternative assets for institutional investors globally. Both he and the firm are known for the rigor of their investment process, their innovative approach to deal making, the diversification of their business lines, and a conviction to be the best at everything they do.Schwarzman is also an active philanthropist, having given away more than a billion dollars. In philanthropy, as in business, he is drawn to situations where his capital and energy can be applied to drive transformative solutions and change paradigms, notably in education. He uses the skills learned over a lifetime in finance to design, establish, and support impactful and innovative organizations and initiatives. His gifts have ranged from creating a new College of Computing at MIT for the study of artificial intelligence, to establishing a first-of-its-kind student and performing arts center at Yale, to enabling the renovation of the iconic New York Public Library, to founding the Schwarzman Scholars fellowship program at Tsinghua University in Beijing—the single largest philanthropic effort in China’s history from international donors.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 think about ambition and scale, risk and opportunities, and how to achieve success through the relentless pursuit of excellence. Schwarzman not only offers readers a thoughtful reflection on all his own experiences, but in doing so provides a practical blueprint for success.

Este es un libro muy esperado del presidente, CEO y cofundador de Blackstone, Stephen A. Schwarzman, que utiliza episodios impactantes de su vida para mostrar a los lectores cómo construir, transformar y liderar organizaciones prósperas.La gente sabe quién es Stephen Schwarzman, al menos eso creen. Es el hombre que con 400.000 dólares cofundó Blackstone, la empresa de inversión que gestiona más de 500 mil millones de dólares e invierte en cientos de empresas en todo el mundo. Es el CEO cuyas opiniones buscan los jefes de Estado. Es el filántropo multimillonario que fundó un programa de becas en China y que ayuda a las más importantes instituciones académicas del mundo a estudiar las implicaciones éticas de la inteligencia artificial. Pero, detrás de estos logros, hay un hombre que ha pasado su vida aprendiendo y reflexionando sobre lo que se necesita para alcanzar la excelencia, generar impacto y vivir una vida relevante. Doblando pañuelos en la tienda de ropa de su padre, Schwarzman soñaba con una vida mejor, llena de metas y aventuras. Sus notas académicas y el atletismo lo llevaron a la universidad de Yale. Después de empezar su carrera con un breve período en una empresa financiera llamada DLJ, Schwarzman comenzó a trabajar en Lehman Brothers, donde ascendió y dirigió la división de fusiones y adquisiciones. Finalmente, se asoció con su mentor y amigo Pete Peterson para fundar Blackstone, prometiendo crear un tipo nuevo y diferente de empresa financiera. No fue fácil convertir a Blackstone en la principal institución financiera mundial que es hoy. Schwarzman priorizó una cultura de excelencia y transparencia, contratando talento y estableciendo procesos para analizar sistemáticamente el riesgo. A pesar de ser rechazado innumerables veces, Schwarzman consiguió recaudar miles de millones de dólares de inversores y crear un equipo de negociadores expertos responsable de las mayores inversiones de private equity e inmobiliarias nunca antes vistas en el sector. Su sencillo mantra - “No pierdas dinero”- y su obsesión por aprender de los errores han convertido a Blackstone en el referente en el ámbito de las inversiones alternativas, le ha dado una reputación de solucionador de problemas y le ha abierto las puertas a inesperados roles como presidir el Centro Kennedy para las Artes Escénicas en Washington, DC y dirigir un equipo de consultores para numerosas administraciones presidenciales de EE.UU. sobre temas como los mercados financieros, políticas económicas y comercio. Fuera de las finanzas, Schwarzman ha ampliado su apetito por afrontar grandes retos en muchas áreas, de forma más notable en la filantropía, donando más de mil millones de dólares a causas como la educación superior, la cultura y las artes
