It was a poorly written and sometimes off-base memo but it's created a good debate. This article is helpful to it. 

The parts that interest me most: 
1. If top levels of Engineering are about people and idea management, how do we get more of the right people there. Same goes for medicine. Bedside manner vs. Smart and driven. 

2. If we consider this a continuum of biologically influenced behaviour and result, is it better to remove the classifications of 'women's' and 'men's' professional development and have instead just topics? Assertiveness training. Empathy training. Remove gender altogether. There are places probably not: Olympic Track and Field probably needs classifications. But maybe the local gym should not be 'Ladies Only' and 'Co-ed', but 'easy-going' and 'eyes-down'.
