It seems as if there's an idea that if we install women in corporate leadership skills we'll get better corporate governance overall. In my experience women's ego can be just as fragile as men's. And guaranteed corporate governance is not necessarily true.

One company I worked for ended up being no different than the good-ol-boy system, except all the men were women -- looking out and protecting each other, figuring out how to screw with employee's yearly reviews in order to game the system for the cabal of women leaders. This was getting to the point that the management chain was vacationing with each other in the south of France.
