Alex Ehrlich

Leadership / Financial Services

When meeting with ThanksUSA scholars, Alex shared a few of the lessons on leadership he acquired during his 40-year career on Wall Street. If COVID has taught us anything, it’s that thinking out of the box is essential to growth. “Leadership isn’t all about work, competition and money. I’ve learned that the basic elements for success are integrity, empathy, diversity, ownership and creativity.”

“I started using Manslow’s Hierarchy of Needs,” he said, “and thinking of the pyramid to describe the behaviors that make people successful with the most basic, important behaviors at the bottom of the pyramid and then build up to the top.” ThanksUSA’s scholar participants learned how to adapt these principles into their everyday lives, building habits that will make them better students and will help them find fulfilling careers.
​
“When I’m looking for people to be senior leaders, I ask, ‘Are they happy?’ Happiness is a leadership trait," Alex shared. "When you’re an unhappy person, the message that you’re sending to people under you, subtly, is that you don’t care about their happiness either…you’re not thinking that happiness is how we measure success.”
