If Goldman Sachs Can't Appreciate Ed Forst's Outside The Box Style Of Negotiating Then Yeah, This Is For The Best
He'll take his talents elsewhere.
Goldman Sachs announced on Friday that Edward C. Forst, a confidant of the bank’s chief executive and a member of the company’s influential management committee, would leave the company. While the departure of Mr. Forst, who turns 51 later this month, was described as a retirement, people briefed on the matter said the move came amid questions about his leadership style, and after a recent misstep several weeks ago, when he was a no-show at an important meeting with a client in Europe...He was absent for the gathering and could not be reached, causing his colleagues to become concerned. When they finally reached Mr. Forst, questions were raised about his behavior, according to the people briefed on the matter.
