Female execs improve IPO performance This article asserts that it is the female's amazing communicative powers that sets her aside from her male peers in this arena. While I think that is possible, it seems a little namby-pamby and unscientific to focus on that female stereotype as the key.

Let's put it in a different light, then:

To become a top exec, a female has to be so much better than the males she is competing against that she is chosen for the position despite discrimination. Therefor, your average female exec will be better than your average male exec through natural (er, sexist) selection.
