Many of us are still in the holiday mood, so we’ll keep it light this Monday morning.
We’re going to speak about life lessons, specifically going with your gut in the workplace. That’s one of the tips from Four Billionaires and a Parking Attendant: Success Strategies of the Wealthy, Powerful, and Just Plain Wise, the recent book from Chris Ullman, the former director of global communications at Carlyle Group. Four Billionaires features some of the biggest names in private equity and finance, including Orlando Bravo, cofounder and managing partner of Thoma Bravo; Arthur Levitt, the former head of the SEC; and many current and former Carlyle executives: David Rubenstein, Glenn Youngkin, William Conway, and Daniel D’Anniello. Ullman worked with all 14 of the execs mentioned in the book, observing how these accomplished people conducted themselves in the world. “[I] saw what worked and what didn’t… And [tried] to emulate the positive and avoid the negative in my own personal life,” Ullman said in a text to Fortune.
