Christine Lagarde: Never Imitate the Boys!
Loading...
Uploaded by womenintheworld on Mar 16, 2010
In a candid and entertaining conversation between French Minister of Economy Christine Lagarde and Thomas L. Friedman of the New York Times, Lagarde had some very straightforward advice for any woman who might seek to follow in her shoes by entering into the male-dominated world of finance: "Never imitate the boys," she said. "Don't assume that you're going to be better heard because you shout louder, because you use slang, and behave like the boys around the table. Just be yourself. We have plenty of energy, confidence, and technical expertise to fit the bill and to hold the position without having to necessarily comply with the model that has been set by other people."

I thought it was quite mild teasing of her male colleagues, who I am sure she respects. I wasn't particularly bothered by it.

EU: 3 Credit Rating Agencies , after bringing the world economy in 2008-'11 to near collapse w/ AAA ratings on junk-mortgages-securities of no-value except bonuses-fees for Bankers-Hedge-Funds, now they are pushing Europa Bonds-Debt down using neocon media ? and dividing Europa against U.K.? Let's clean up all Banks without bonuses+let's create 15 million jobs w/Solar/Wind/Wave,hybrid-electric plug-in cars/trucks/bicycles,nano-fuel-cells,fusion,natural organic farms,financialtools1.blogspot.com
