[The Big Five] Experts are now asking if the current situation would look the same if there had been more women in charge of investment decision-making and oversight.  In the words of Nicholas Kristoff, would Lehman have survived today if the company had been Lehman Brothers and Sisters?  Linda discussed the Council’s comprehensive and timely report, presenting the latest research into the different investment management styles of women and men, how they approach risk and what the global economy might look like if a critical mass of women were bringing their decision-making talents to the table.  Jacki, whose inspirational story about her meteoric rise at Goldman transcends the financial services sector, spoke about her own experiences of often being the only woman on the trading floor and in the board room.  An interactive discussion ensued among the group on such critical issues as:
