I see some irony reading the original post: That seems to be what Berdahl is doing here. She has little doubt that white male leadership was a key contributor to the President's departure, and when other's criticized her for her conclusions, she uses her leadership position to minimize their comments. Is lack of diversity an issue? Absolutely. When people are excluded better ideas may be lost. But I don't find Berdahl's blog posts as encouraging or promoting diversity.When work is a masculinity contest, leadership does not earnestly seek expert input, express self-doubt, or empower low-status voices. Instead, those who rise to positions of leadership have won the contest of who can seem most certain and overrule or ignore divergent opinions. Risk-taking, harassment, and bullying are common.
