I was delighted by it. You have been an excellent exemplar to me of a progressive leader who is conscious of the balance that can be achieved by diversity -- not as imposed diversity, but as a delight that we find as we are building our team of respectful cohorts. </p> <p>Having had the experience of being challenged and empowered by you as an individual, having had your support and mentoring, I can assure anyone who might have questioned your comment that you simply enjoy bringing all good people to their full potential. And that it is a good thing that you get excited when all us deserving people come together. </p> As a woman who worked for you at Socialtext, I can’t begin to express my shock that people would misinterpret your tweet this morning.
