What a slug. Leave it to a knuckle-dragger like Berlusconi to attack the positive changes in Spain. Berlusconi might also take a look at the Scandinavia countries who have much more equal representation in government and business. My wife just attended a seminar last week (hosted by a global, prestigious consulting firm) that showed companies with three or more women on the executive board outperform male dominated firms both organizationally and financially. Looking at the depth of problems in Italy - both organizationally and financially - perhaps Berlusconi should be taking a closer look at how women can play a larger role in Italy. For that matter, we could do a heck of a lot better in the US as well.
Berlusconi on the new Spanish cabinet:
"[He] has formed a government that is too pink," reads one. "That's something we cannot do... because there is a prevalence of men in politics and it isn't easy to find women who are qualified for government. Now he's asked for it. He'll have problems leading them."
