I started out as a lawyer and came in laterally to Goldman Sachs. So I learned myself that life is unpredictable.

I think if you focus on your job, and you focus on being broad in the context of your job, the next jobs follow from that.

You have to, in your own life, get people to want to work with you and want to help you. The organizational chart, in my opinion, means very little. I need my bosses' goodwill, but I need the goodwill of my subordinates even more.
