Description

Tom Coates identifies some of the problems with what Shirky is suggesting - the problem isn't just that women don't push themselves forward, but often that the wrong people do, and what we should be focusing on is ensuring that everyone correctly advertises their own level of experience and ability - that those that *do* self-promote heavily while they can be useful, can just as often be a total pain.
