My Take
Paulson interests me less as a banker than as a man tested by catastrophe. Plenty of people run Goldman Sachs; far fewer have to steer the U.S. Treasury through a near-collapse of the global financial system, and his refusal to flinch in 2008 is what I respect. There's something telling about the arc from Eagle Scout to crisis manager, a kind of dutiful seriousness that runs underneath the resume. I don't romanticize the decisions, but I admire the nerve. He is, to me, a study in what leadership actually costs when the stakes are real and immediate.
