No women can not live on the stock exchange, no ...

Money and women. No one would deny that the two concepts are very close. But one thing to pay more - to earn. Whether women are able to earn? Able. More and more of the beautiful, but not a weak sex checks his life clock on almost masculine.

New priorities

Even in traditionally not prone to such experiments, almost the whole of India in 2001 as President of Bombay Stock Exchange managed to resist a woman - Dina Mehta. Moreover, as reported dazedly television, in the early first millennium business ladies appeared on the exchanges of Islamic Kuwait. What to talk about Europe or America. A study last year in Britain for ladies 25-35 years old, two-thirds of them said that, choosing between children and career, gave an unqualified preference for the latter. Well, no comment.


A City woman's face

So, «woman» do not inherit the money, do not remove them from the men's wallets, they earn. One of the most promoted in Europe of persons - 35-year-old superboss, head of the department of one of the largest investment funds in London City Katherine Garrett-Cox. Catherine the Great, as this lady christened financial journalists who receives a salary of one million pounds annually, plus bonuses. Business gifts business lady - ladies, by the way, is married to the same mother-young child - so high that in the morning at her computer syplyutsya thousands of emails odeltsov from all over the world, eager to get her advice.

In his dizzying career of Garrett-Cox is not alone. In 2001, the new executive head of Stock Exchange City for the first time its 230-year history was the 41-year-old Clara queen, received a salary of 1.5 million pounds per year. City - world financiers, proudly carrying on their shoulders the burden of tradition and history of business. Nevertheless, there is little perceived feminist revolution quietly: Mrs. Queen was the only candidate for high office. The very same, she told reporters the move did not see in the new appointment nothing special, but even on the male standards of its work - the most stringent in the City.

If you believe the English newspapers, Ms. Queen is far from the stereotype of London banker, and from the classical type of business Amazons are often configured in relation to women's traditional values - home and family - if not aggressively, then at least lightly. Clara - a mother of three children. Evening and night work was not keen on: a hard schedule, and allow it self is almost always packed during working hours. Journalists at the time especially melt about one of her habits: exactly at noon, though at this point in tartarary fly the whole financial world, Ms. Queen rises from the table and goes to the gym. She believes in a healthy way of life and no drugs.

London Stock Exchange - one of the three largest in the world. But the last decade of its history marked by more downs than ups. Boss left if not scandal, then the defeat. But the iron lady (the one immediately to svoyski eyes began to call Laroy) has much that is not able to do other managers. One of the brokers philosophically remarked about this: «If a man managed to create a mess, why women can not do the opposite».

By business lady of this magnitude include Carol Gelli, narechennaya «ice ladies». Carol - director of the current activities of British investment firm Merrill Lynch Investment Managers (MLIM). Under her supervision - assets worth $ 557 billion to work in a company she started 30 years ago in the post ... librarian. During these years she has earned a reputation as a specialist who knows all about British companies. Today, in the words of the Gelli, asset management for the - «art rather than science».


At Skakov the horse will stop ...

The Wall Street Journal, Time, Buisness Week and other quality newspapers for several years now make up the lists of the most abrupt lady of European and world business. Each of the candidates evaluated, taking into account its influence in its sphere, and the business community as a whole. The jury is composed of businessmen, management consultants, business school professors, financial journalists. With no say - this recognition. By the way, is not the first year of all ratings fall Rossiyanka - Olga Dergunova. Today, her 39 years. Since 1995, Olga - the only female director of the regional branch of Microsoft. That is it, say analysts, it was possible to reverse a situation in which 94% of software was pirated in Russia (!). Talents Dergunova recognize even competitors, not to mention the «native» guide. It is necessary to quote the director of Microsoft Corporation in Eastern Europe Robert CLOUGH: «Olga - the best general manager in the region, for which I am responsible. Of course, all of the eight general managers, working in Eastern Europe, are the best of the best. But Olga on head and shoulders above all ».

Lady's happiness in the style of FOREX

Why did they succeed, if not all, much? Perhaps the answer will point the famous British psychologist Charles Bartlufa many years studying the behavior of the individual in the business community: «I have a suspicion that the most sophisticated stock exchange policies are created at the direct participation of women. At this point I brought the books of memoirs about working in the financial markets. They often include women as active participants in the development of financial strategy, or fraud. It may be in the flexibility of mind, perfect for millennia, when the neck had just roll your head and not play an independent role. Add here the fact that women are much less afraid to be funny man, not so zashorena, so - it is broader world ».
