She's a woman. She's a CEO. She's guaranteed to have a target on her back. See http://consultingadultblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/ceo-archetyp... for a description of what is still reality in the working world.

That said, people I personally know who have worked with her are luke-cold. But I'm sure that the same people would prefer her over the average Yahoo exec in a heartbeat. And I'm more optimistic about Yahoo's direction now than I was before she came in. Morale is up, traffic is up, motherhood has apparently not distracted her. (To be honest, I was one of the doubters when she came in. A qualified doubter, but a doubter.)
