		cstejerean on Oct 28, 2008 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How to Tell If Your CEO Is Clueless I wonder if the correct approach is to use "she" when talking about positive things so people don't think you assume all CEOs are male, and use "he" when talking about negatives so people don't complain you think all bad CEOs are female.

The correct approach is to just use "he" like people have been doing since the language was invented.
