Cons

most leaders are specialists in marketing only, they sell "dreams" to other senior leaders trying to get funding for the next year, most of those projects sold as dreams dont take off very well and the employees suffer burnout under bad apples and conflicted women managers who cannot be complained against since they are women! no gain in knowledge from the work done when the last years sold dreams dont take off, newer stories and newer dreams are build around them to showcase change of objective to yet another more ambitious dream, only to keep the show running until the higher leaders have progressed or rotated into their next target role/function overall this company and its shareholders will pay a huge price for hiring incompetent women leaders
