	The Real Deal - book review
		Sandy Weill with writer Judah Kraushaar, has successfully written the story of his life for all of us to absorb and learn from.
		Sandy Weill may well be the most successful businessman of the late 20th century.
		In my opinion, if Sandy Weill had only built a fabulous brokerage firm, no small feat in itself, he would still be considered one of the great businessmen, and builders of his generation.

	Sandy Weill's New Book Proves He's the Real Deal - October 4, 2006 - The New York Sun
		Weill got his start on the Street as a runner at a brokerage house, an experience which influenced how he looked at the financial world during the rest of his meteoric rise through it.
		Weill tells us that from the founding of Carter, Berlind, Patoma and Weill in 1960, it was his love of interacting with clients and writing transaction tickets that drove him to grow the company that would become, in 1979, Shearson Loeb Rhoades.
		Weill, the stockbroker at heart, has never had much use for stiffs in their corporate suites far removed from their firms' day-to-day operations.

	Citigroup's Sandy Weill. - By Chris Suellentrop - Slate Magazine
		In Weill's case, his vision was to build a financial-services company that could cross-sell a broad variety of financial products—stocks, credit cards, checking accounts, insurance, loans, whatever its heart desired—to its customers.
		Weill appears to have realized that it's a powerful case, and he's moved to pre-empt it by self-imposing new rules and regulations that Citibank will abide by.
		But that puts him in a strange situation: Weill helped write the rules (or unwrote them) that permitted Citigroup to come into existence, then behaved sleazily under those rules, and now he's implying that those rules are to blame for his (and his firm's) behavior.

		The depth of self-pity of Weill and Dimon when they themselves get fired are simply revolting in their hypocrisy and self-righteousness.
		Weill is a modern day equivalent of the rail road and oil robber barons of the last century, i.e.
		In the last 100 pages of her book, the author appears to be increasingly star struck, focusing on the lavish lifestyle and adulation of an aging tycoon surrounded by sycophants.

	Studying Sandy Weill
		I believe Weill's brilliance is an attribute of his ability to subtly toe the line between seemingly opposite ideologies.
		Weill knew this, and time and time again throughout his career, he was able to quickly capitalize on competitors' problems.
		Although he focused on the more mundane aspects of business, Weill also knew that building a prestigious brand was critical when it came to asking customers to entrust him with their money.

		Weill told anecdotes about how he went from graduating from Cornell in 1955, without a clue about what to do with his life, to creating and leading the global bank Citigroup, which gave a 2,600 percent return to investors during his leadership.

	TheStreet.com: Sandy Weill Has a Special Bonus for Those Who Stick With Citi
		For Weill, the challenge is to keep valued Citi employees -- particularly 10,000 Salomon Smith Barney brokers -- in place to help hit the megabank's growth and earnings targets.
		Weill has initiated aggressive employee stock ownership plans at Primerica, which bought Smith Barney and Shearson before they were acquired by Travelers.
		All those mergers caused plenty of organizational upheaval, and Weill's theory was that employees were less likely to leave the firm if there was a pile of company stock waiting for them down the road.

	Sandy Weill \| Big man's shoes \| Economist.com
		IN HIS introduction to The Real Deal, Sandy Weill's co-author, Judah Kraushaar, a former research analyst, describes Mr Weill as the single most important figure in the financial services industry over the past half century.
		But the legacy of the man behind the creation of Citigroup, the world's largest financial institution, and its boss until 2003, is still far from clear.
		Starting in 1960 with $30,000—some of it borrowed from his family, which had thrived during the Depression by mass-producing mourning dresses—Mr Weill built a securities business and sold it to American Express for almost $1 billion in 1981.

		"Weill takes so many cheap shots at people who helped his incredible career, it probably would have sold better as a psychological novel because it's more fiction than fact," fumed George Sheinberg, a business colleague and friend of Weill's for 20 years.
		By no means is Sheinberg the first to criticize Weill's memoir.
		Weill's book also has negative things to say about General Electric's Jack Welch and IBM's Lou Gerstner, both of whose memoirs stayed on the best-seller lists far longer than Weill's is projected to be there.
