This Is Quick: What the President of Blackstone prioritizes when hiring

On this week’s rapid-fire Q&A, Blackstone President and COO Jon Gray sits down with LinkedIn’s Editor-in-Chief Dan Roth to share what he looks for in new hires, how he stays focused, and the right way to give tough feedback.

Among the insights:
