The Chief of telecommunications firm Optus is forced to quit after some particularly dismal results. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-67470796

It's been known for quite a while that the tenure of female CEOs tends to be relatively brief. Even a feminist rag like The Guardian is forced to acknowledge this. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/17/female-ceos-more-likely-than-men-to-be-fired

In fact, the number of female CEOs in Fortune 500 Companies fell from 32 in 2017 to 24 in 2018, the main reason being the poor performance of the incumbents. https://salespop.net/leadership/are-women-failures-as-ceos/ The author of this piece is shocked by the outcome, and implies that Companies should be more tolerant of women's priorities towards their families. It's almost as though men didn't have families, too.

Yes, it's one thing to have the path smoothed to the top. Quite another to actually perform, in the absence of the mentors who got you there. But, hey, never mind!! The think tanks at the UN and the WEF have been doing the thinking for you (as ever), and will now be awarding additional credit for 'soft leadership' (whatever that is), and for the ability to apply diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. And environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies. Oh, that soft leadership. And, it's just as important as making a profit, right? Even MORE important, you say? Thank you, Klaus Schwabb. Thank you, Antonio Guterres. Those female CEOs can breathe freely once more, and concentrate on their families. https://www.forbes.com/sites/glennllopis/2022/12/08/esg-and-dei-why-they-matter-for-long-term-sustainability/
