New Barclays chief tells staff: Embrace risk

摘要

barclays' new corporate and investment bank boss has told staff he wants them to start taking more risk and has set up a new unit aiming to "sweat our assets better". The message to staff in recent weeks from Tim Throsby has been clear: years of restructuring and apologising for past mistakes are over and returns and efficiency need to improve to cement Barclays' position as the leading challenger to US bulge bracket firms.
