RE the statement "Moving into the new millennium, companies that can learn to recruit, develop, and retain women CIOs and managers will be far ahead of the others."

Why? Are you saying that Females in these roles are superior to Men of the equivelant education and experience?

Surely with any job these days, and certainly in any company I've worked in, the best person gets it regardless of Gender. I've worked under a female IT manager, and I'm related to one, so perhaps it's more about a lack of female desire to be a CIO than any perceived barriers.

Regardless, the statement made by the author is ridiculous.
