Wall Street rewards those who are very good at doing risky jobs. This parlour game also elucidates one of the most important truths of finance. For an industry obsessed with managing risk, it remains greatly exposed to the triumphs and failures of a small number of individuals.

The article from The Economist, titled "The Great Man Theory of Wall Street," discusses the enduring influence of individual leaders in the financial sector, despite the rise of technology and data-driven decision-making. It explores how figures like Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase and Larry Fink of BlackRock continue to shape the industry through their personal vision, charisma, and strategic decisions. The piece argues that while algorithms and quantitative models play a significant role in modern finance, the human element, particularly the impact of visionary leaders, remains crucial. These leaders not only steer their companies through crises but also influence market trends, regulatory environments, and the broader economic landscape. The article suggests that the "Great Man Theory" still holds relevance in Wall Street, where individual leadership can significantly sway the direction of financial institutions and markets.
