Where was the Lehman board?

What do a theatrical producer, retired Rear Admiral and the long ago retired CEO of IBM have in common? It's not a trick question. But you might mistake the answer for the punch line of a bad joke.

The answer is they're all now former members of the Lehman Brothers board of directors.

The entire cast counts four retired hands, two private investor/advisory types and one self named independent investment consultant who serves as the Chairman of the Finance and Risk Committee. Ok, the latter is well known name and respected investor, Henry Kaufman. But still. Where was Mr. Kaufman on the risk that obviously did this firm in? Does anyone know?

Taken together, the list (http://www.lehman.com/who/bios/board_directors.htm) looks more like the casting call for the movie, Cocoon, than a robust slate of active directors looking out for shareholder interest. Fuld is a dead man walking so we'll give him a pass on governance.

As to the others, well, good luck with getting new directorships. You probably won't have any problem, seeing that the old boys network likes to recycle the same old bodies into the same old chairs. It's a mystery that remains unsolved for now. But the day of directorship reckoning is coming. Keep screwing up at this level, and the secret is bound to get out.

We remain completely mystified that nothing seems to have been learned or applied since the collapse of Enron.
