Lloyd Blankfein said a lack of clear options for a second career means he’ll need the resolve to relinquish his post atop Goldman Sachs Group Inc. before he has something else lined up.
“The government doesn’t seem that available for me and I’m not sure I want to die at my desk, so that creates a problem,” Blankfein, the Wall Street bank’s chief executive officer, said Thursday at the Boston College Chief Executives Club. “I don’t think I’m destined to leave because I’m finding something else attractive, I just think I’m going to have to have the discipline to leave when I want to stay.”
