金融海嘯襲擊一年後，華爾街檢討聲四起。這場災難許多公司紛紛倒地（in over their head），其中以雷曼兄弟為最，不過也有人逃過一劫，還逆勢成長（playing over their head），高盛（Golden Sachs）就是箇中佼佼者。

例：“When others were all in over their heads in this crisis, they started last year playing over their heads and are currently leading the score board.”「其他公司中箭落馬，去年他們卻愈戰愈勇，領先群雄。」

員工努力 高盛逆勢成長

9月中，高盛執行長布蘭凱接受紐約時報專訪，特別強調公司上下共體時艱，努力奉獻（keep one's nose to the grindstone），無人混吃等死（go through the motions），所有員工都體認：把工作做到更好，才能把事情做好（Get'er done.）

例：“After a month of keeping his nose to the grindstone, he finally gets away for that award he has dreamed about.”「一個月不眠不休埋頭苦幹，他終於拿下夢寐以求的首獎。」

“When the crisis came, he went through the motions of working, without feeling much of anything.”「即使危機來臨，他還是我行我素，絲毫沒有改變。」

肝膽相照 危難在所不辭

布氏認為，找到志同道合，願意拔刀相助的同事，是成功的第一步（You have to get people to want to work with you and want to help you. ）大家肝膽相照，自然生死與共，危難在所不辭（go the whole nine yards），而不必專做表面工作（face time），事事交差了事。

例：“The challenge was terrible but I wanted to go the whole nine yards and get'er done.”「挑戰的確艱難，不過，我還是奮力一搏，誓死達成任務。」

“Maris was at work until 2 am last night reading facebook.com. That was some serious face time.”「Maria在辦公室待到晚上兩點，看似很忙，其實在上網打發時間。」成功者善於打造有效率的工作團隊（band of brothers）。鼓舞部屬全心全力投入工作，在「有福同享」（spread the wealth），不能只踩著別人的身子往上爬（climb on the backs of others）。這也是孫子「上下同欲者，勝。」的道理。

例：“When you are doing well you make sure that those who have helped you get some of the profit also. When you spread the wealth around, it's good for the band of brothers.”「好光景來了，不要忘記打天下的老戰友，是謂有福同享。」

“The corporate ladder climbers try to ride up and don't care about anyone else. They climb on the backs of others, using others’hard work and stealing their ideas to get themselves ahead.”「爭功諉過，一心往上爬，這種小人每個公司都有。」
