Goldman's Secret Sauce

I was reading a piece on Goldman's recent performance, and this paragraph grabbed me:

Goldman’s secret sauce, say executives, analysts and historians, is high-octane business acumen, tempered with paranoia and institutionally encouraged — though not always observed — humility.

Well, now that the secret is out, expect other banks to get their shit together. All they'll need is high-octane business acumen, tempered with paranoia and institutionally encouraged humility. Then they can leverage their strategic synergies over a broad spectrum of dynamic market paradigms.

I mean seriously, who writes this shit?
