Do you think if Wall Street had more diversity in their ranks, that greed would have been less?
My friend and highly respected leader, Jim Walton asked a great question that should get a straightforward yes response. Right? After all, we’d all agree that Wall Street lacks diverse leaders.
Most would agree that financial market controls come from one pool of people that keep many others poor.
Few would disagree that we have needed diversity at top financial tables.
Concerns are fairly unanimous that a few top CEOs grab or control most profits unfairly.
The list goes on and most agree to toxic financial flaws we’ve allowed to mushroom and corrupt Wall Street.
To Jim’s question about diversity's ability to reduce greed on wall Street, I’d answer no, however.My reason detailed here, is based on facts about the human brain at work.
