From corporate board rooms to the Senate floor, decision-makers and pundits alike are offering up a myriad of solutions to the current financial downturn. When New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof tackled the issue this Sunday, he argued that America’s banks need not only a bailout of billions, but a bastion of women to fix the crisis.
Lamenting that a lack of women at the top results in “second-rate decision-making,” Kristof also noted that women’s participation in politics has “a profound and positive impact.” In his follow-up blog, Kristof credited “Closing the Leadership Gap: Add Women, Change Everything” by White House Project President Marie Wilson, with driving home this crucial point: having one or two women will not do the job – what we need is a critical mass.
