Do you think they hire women to executive positions to fill some sort of quota? If they did, wouldn't they have more of them in those sorts of positions? I mean, seriously, think how good she had to be just to be in the running for a position like that. I don't know how you can say she wasn't very good at it. In business these shifts happen all the time, regardless of the skill of the ascendant or exile. And if you'll remember, HP stock went up when she joined, just as it went up when she left. I really don't know how you can say she wasn't any good at it.
