I still think she has cachet and i still believe there is (to a large degree) plenty of chauvinism being thrown at her. Maybe she is a fit leader but dove into a mess that is far worse behind the scenes than the public can understand? Maybe she had no help from her internal staff/teams? And/Or, maybe yes, she is human and could have made a few mistakes? Maybe her skills make her a better COO-type of person as opposed to CEO? It sucks to see the state of yahoo in general these days (I attribute this statement of mine to sheer nostalgia of the older inter-webs)...but it sucks also because I have been cheering on Marissa Mayer, and hoping she succeeds both throughout hr time in google as well as here on yahoo. Good leader / bad leader, I don't know...but I'll keep pulling for her.
- Keyframe 10y agoI'm sure she has chauvinism thrown at her. That's the sad state of the world we live in. I always tend to give positive benefit of the doubt to people. However, her results have shown lack of yield. That's all that matters. She's been at it for four years now and hasn't turned the ship around. Only two conclusions can be met here. Either the ship has already sunk before she came on board or she wasn't fit for the role / bad leadership. Even if she didn't have the support from people around her, that's still lack of leadership. After all, it's your job, as a leader, to persuade people into doing various things (do things, buy things, sell things, morale, whatever...). Results speak for themselves. She has got to go. The patient is flatlining.
