People differ over Ms. Yellen's style and its effectiveness. Many senior Fed officials, including those who have opposed her on tough policy questions, say the 67-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y., native would be easy to work with if picked to lead the institution. "She listens to all sides of a debate," said Jeffrey Lacker, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, who wants the Fed to end its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program, which Ms. Yellen has strongly supported. Some others who have worked with her behind the scenes disagree. Dick Anderson, who served a brief stint as the chief operating officer of the Fed's Washington board, ending in December 2012, said, "Yellen's abrasive, intimidating style is probably more suited for a 'Mad Men' era as opposed to a modern office environment."
