It's Valentine's Day and I presume the last thing you'd like to talk about during your date is the economy (ugh...). But just so you'll not run out of conversation pieces, I suggest you bone up on this recent ABC News video on Claire Shipman's report in "Good Morning America." Who knows when you'll find this handy?
You see, there's a new medical study that lays the blame on gender for the financial industry's monumental fall. In so many words, medical experts are saying that if women ruled Wall Street, we wouldn't be in this financial mess. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof aptly framed the issue this way: "Would we have been better off had it not been Lehman Brothers, if it had been Lehman Brothers and Sisters?" Indeed, would business, in general, be better off with the female management style?
Now, that sounds sexist but it really got me thinking. Watch this video, too, so you'll see what I mean (if you can't wait for it to load, click this to go directly to YouTube):
After watching that video, do you think this could be a good trigger for a lively conversation? Or will it trigger the eternal gender war? Whichever, enjoy your Valentine's Day!
