We will hold the meeting on Friday, May 20, 2016 at 8:30 a.m., local time, at our offices in Jersey City, New Jersey. Enclosed you will find a notice setting forth the items we expect to address during the meeting, a letter from our Lead Director, our proxy statement, a form of proxy and a copy of our 2015 annual report to our shareholders. Gary Cohn, our President and COO, and I discuss our performance, strategy and outlook in our 2015 letter to our shareholders, which is included in our annual report. We hope you will read the letter in full, and we provide below a few key points that may be of interest. The first half of 2015 featured a strong macroeconomic environment, but headwinds emerged, particularly during the second half of the year, and these headwinds persisted into early 2016. Although the current cycle has felt prolonged, cycles do turn, even if the timing of such inflections is difficult to predict. As such, we continue to adapt our business to structural and cyclical factors affecting the operating environment, while remaining flexible enough to capture future growth opportunities. Our efforts in this regard have yielded relatively stable results for our shareholders over the past four years. We have diversified our franchise while holding our revenues steady, and we have increased our capital and liquidity and decreased our risk. We have stayed focused on prudently managing our resources, while meeting the needs of our clients. What’s more, we remain committed to enabling economic prosperity through the work we do not only in our core businesses, but also through targeted programs like 10,000 Women. This means, among other things, helping new enterprises grow by investing in entrepreneurs, as well as by financing projects across the globe, such as those that improve living standards in traditionally underserved communities. It also means being mindful of the importance of a healthy environment, and driving that core belief through our work with our clients, as well as through our own operations. Lastly, we recognize that our people are critical to our long-term success. We work diligently to remain a place where top talent across a variety of disciplines and from a diverse set of backgrounds aspires to work. We believe our time-tested and deeply seeded culture of client centricity, teamwork and excellence sets us apart in this regard. So too does the core work we do at Goldman Sachs, such as providing our clients with, among other things, strategic advice and the capital they need to grow and invest. As we look ahead, we know we cannot forecast every outcome, and we expect the near-term environment to prove challenging. As managers of risk, we consistently try to “see around corners” to anticipate problems, but we also find ourselves generally optimistic about the longer-term. By staying true to our strategic focus, while adapting quickly to changes in the operating environment, and maintaining our focus on meeting the needs of our clients, we strive to continue to deliver on our long history of providing our shareholders with best-in-class returns. We would like to thank you for your confidence in Goldman Sachs, and we look forward to welcoming many of you to our annual meeting. Your vote is important to us: even if you do not plan to attend the meeting in person, we hope your votes will be represented. Lloyd C. Blankfein Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ii Goldman Sachs | Proxy Statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders Letter from our Lead Director Letter from our Lead Director April 8, 2016 To my fellow shareholders, 2015 was an active year for the Goldman Sachs Board. Among the matters we addressed was the lymphoma diagnosis of our Chairman and CEO, Lloyd Blankfein. From his initial diagnosis to dialogue with the Board and the public announcement of his illness, the firm acted swiftly and candidly. Lloyd continued

  • 01 Leading a Business in a Socially Connected World
    01 Leading a business in a socially connected world COPYRIGHT MATERIAL iven this book is aimed at you, the leader, I wanted to start off by Gfocusing directlyNOT FOR on what REPRODUCTION being a leader in a socially connected world means for you. This chapter aims to provide you with insights on where social media for you as a leader fits in, why it matters and the impact that ‘being social’ can have. In fact, before we start, here’s my list of some of the clear benefits. Social media: ●● enables you to tune in and listen in ‘real time’ to your customers, your employees and what’s happening in your sector; ●● enables you to share your viewpoint, in an authentic and conver- sational way; ●● enables you to defend, speak up and mitigate misconceptions; ●● enables you to share your values and your brand’s values. As we go through the book, you’ll hear what other leaders feel are the benefits of being on social media channels – and I’ll endeavour to demonstrate all of the above with real-world examples. My viewpoint and, therefore, the stance in this book, considers that social media, as well as offering you highly practical channels to assist you with driving your business, reaches way beyond the practical application of ‘being social on social networks’ – and rather is enmeshed within the range of technologies that are fast becoming ‘social’ business as usual. M02_CARVILL_K_2558_01_C01.indd 7 1/26/2018 5:18:37 PM 8 Get Social Whilst the focus of this book is to enable you to develop your own social media strategy and tactics, it would be a disservice not to discuss the breadth and depth of social technologies, to equip you with enough compelling context to motivate you to take action and build social media strategies, tactics and activity into your already busy life.

  • How Goldman Sachs Turned the Great Recession Into Competitive Advantage Using Strategic Management
    How Goldman Sachs Turned the Great Recession into Competitive Advantage Using Strategic Management Mine Doyran The City University of New York Abstract What are the strategic questions confronting Goldman Sachs in the wake of the Great Recession? Goldman Sachs has been considered the most prestigious investment banking firm on Wall Street. Since September 2008, Goldman operates as a bank holding company and financial holding company regulated by the Federal Reserve. It gives advice on how to achieve long-term financial goals in times of both prosperity and crisis. This case reveals how Goldman Sachs became the quintessential global firm for the current period, which combines both growth and weaknesses. It further argues that Goldman Sachs has adopted innovative strategies one step ahead of its competitors, thus surviving the worst of times and redefining the traditional investment banking field. Background Founded in 1869, Goldman Sachs has been considered the most prestigious investment banking firm on Wall Street. Its clients include both public and private institutions seeking funding for expansion to meet the needs of their clients and advice on how to achieve long-term financial goals in times of both prosperity and crisis. Indeed, Goldman would be the quintessential firm for the current period, which combines both growth and weakness. Currently, Goldman Sachs operates as bank holding company and a financial holding company. It is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. It has an American depository institution subsidiary, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, which is a “New York State-chartered bank.”1 The business of investment firm includes help in planning corporate mergers, Rutgers Business Review Vol.
