The leader leads, and the boss drives.” – Theodore Roosevelt So what’s with the dogs? You know the deal and you know the quote (“If You’re Not the Lead Dog, the View Never Changes”). The companies included in the Best Companies list are all lead [...] [...] “I don’t have a bank account because I don’t know my mother’s maiden name.” Paula Poundstone If you work in the financial services industry, the bad news is that it was hit the hardest from the recent financial crisis. The good news is that it was the first to bounce back. And while some of this [...] [...] “You must do the thing you think you cannot do” – Eleanor Roosevelt The job market in New York is heating up, with the big financial institutions leading from the front (okay, not all of them).
