“If someone disagrees with her, her first instinct is not to try to bully them, but instead to try to understand why they have reached a different conclusion than she has. Because of this attribute, Yellen is one of the people I would trust most to be able to sort out what the key problems are and what needs to be done in any new situation.”
In fact, that assessment has nothing to do with gender. There are plenty of men who have that attribute. Larry Summers isn’t one them.
