But even if she was trying to be Steve Jobs—innovator, leader, money-maker— thats a bad thing? Apparently yes, if youre a woman. This headline evokes the trope of a woman getting too big for her britches—fairly common in the Glass Cliff narrative. Witness the complaints about how brusque Jill Abramson was at the Times, how she made decisions without consulting underlings, how she forged ahead based on her conviction and goals. (Crazy thing for a leader to do, I know.) She was mercurial (a word that was oft-attributed to Jobs, by the way). When Steve Jobs does it, its genius at work; when a woman does it, its a fireable offense.
