Lloyd Blankfein has given younger bankers some advice that the Goldman Sachs boss admits he would have found difficult to follow when he was their age: take it easy.

A video of Blankfein's discussion with Edith Cooper, Goldman Sachs's global head of human capital management, was posted on the bank's website on August 12.
