Have you ever heard of Goldman Sachs' 15-minute rule at Goldman Sachs?It means you have to respond to an email in 15 minutes or less no matter what. It doesn't matter if you:- showering- hiking in the mountains- attending your son's wedding- saving someone from a drowning vehicleUnreasonable? Heck yeah.Borderline toxic? Most likely.The perfect recipe for burnout? You bet.It doesn't mean you should do it (I certainly wouldn't) but this practice exists.The embodiment of the Time Kills All Deals attitude.Other companies have their own "unreasonable" practices. Zappos Family of Companies has a 365-day return policyStarbucks offers a free drink if it's not perfectPatagonia has their Ironclad Guarantee repair serviceThe Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. allows their employees to spend up to $2,000 to solve a customer problem without approvalOnce the product quality isn't a differentiating factor, the customer service and relationships are. What makes you different?

It seems to me that in most industries quality is not a differentiating factor - yet in most companies they act as if quality is the ONLY differentiating factor. The companies you listed think out of the (quality) box when positioning themselves.

Speed is absolutely critical in business development. You don't have to have the full answer, just the acknowledgement that your customer is heard and that you are on the case.One organization shared they had a 2,000% increase in win rate whenever they were able to respond within 5 minutes of an inquiry. That's stuck with me since!

😮 Goldman Sachs has made me incredibly impatient!Let me tell you why 👇🏽 For years I was trained to respond straight away.❗ An email pops up👉🏽 You respond❗ Someone calls👉🏽 You respond❗ Someone needs to see you👉🏽 You respondSo even after I left, when I heard a ping, a message, a call...I had to respond IMMEDIATELY.✖ But then I realised, it’s not healthy.✖ You can’t be on autopilot all the time.✔ It is ok to respond to a message after 30 minutes, not 3.✔ It is ok to call someone back, if you’re in the middle of something.✔ It is ok to turn off your phone, when you need to focus on your work.❗ Our brain still has not evolved to constant stimulation and reactions.👉🏽 Give yourself a break.The world will go on with or without you.Share ♻ it to help others Get in touch 🤝 and connect with meRing the 🔔 on my profile to see more of my content.#growthmindset #goalsetting #wellbeing #performance #coaching

Through extensive employee listening and focus groups related to internal mobility at Goldman Sachs, David (Global Head of Talent Development) and his team identified 3 key opportunities for improvement. ⬇️⬇️1. Access & VisibilityEmployees couldn't see the various pathways and opportunities within Goldman Sachs.To solve this, they implemented tech to give employees' visibility into how their skills align with the opportunities available.2. Mindset ChangeManagers were having difficulty letting go of their team members because of the perceived difficulty in finding replacements.They needed to shift the mindset from a mindset of talent scarcity to one of talent abundance by developing an ecosystem for talent mobility and creating a supply-demand balance of talent within the organization."If that manager knows that if they develop that person, help them find their next role, there's 10 other people waiting because we've got an ecosystem of shared talent, and in a way in which we can connect the supply and demand of talent. That's going to actually help start to change that mindset."3. Policy reformThe third opportunity was with Goldman Sachs's policies regarding employee mobility, specifically policies dictating how long an employee should stay in their current job before being eligible for the next one, and the length of the transition period.So, they standardized these policies, and aligned them with their intention of encouraging more mobility within the organization.Link to the full episode in the comments.________🔔 Want more MPL content?

Diversity isn't just a buzzword; it's the key to innovation in the Financial Services Industry 🌍 It's about bringing together varied perspectives to challenge the status quo and unlock hidden potential. But the real challenge? It's not just finding diverse talent; it's about weaving those unique voices into the core of our decision-making processes.It's not just about filling a quota; it's about creating a melting pot of ideas that can lead to better risk management and more creative investment strategies.Here's what I've learned throughout my career:- Diverse teams are more likely to identify new market opportunities- A variety of perspectives can lead to more robust risk assessment- Inclusive environments often result in higher employee satisfaction and retentionIf you're in the hedge fund industry and looking to not just adapt but thrive through diversity, let's connect. Together, we can shape a culture that not only welcomes different voices but amplifies them.#HedgeFunds #DiversityInFinance #TalentAcquisition

Every business has a purpose, but most don't use it to its full potential as a resource.

Their partners' dedication to quality and service has set them apart in the highly competitive retail market.🎁🏅These shining examples show us that when employees own a piece of the pie, they’re not just workers—they're innovators, visionaries, game-changers. They’re the future of business. 🚀💼🤝#EmployeeOwnership #Innovation #Success #Wealth #GameChangers #FutureOfWork
