Weiss judged based on Ruby's aged and judged hard. She didn't care that Ruby may have been strong enough to compete with her elders, her first reaction was "How did a child sneak their way into Beacon." Yes, Ruby proved to be childish. But Weiss judged her for it before she even had proof of how childish Ruby was. She's judgemental and judges based on appearances alone quite a lot. That's not something a CEO of a major company should do.

She automatically assumes all Faunus are White Fang and thieves; yes, she had bad experiences with them, but she doesn't even pretend to reserve judgement. You can be cautious around someone without automatically lumping them with terrorists and thieves, after all.

She has grown as a person, and there were mitigating circumstances that led to her outburst, but overall her attitude is not a good one for an upcoming CEO. She's brash and judgemental, and too blunt and bullheaded for it. She makes a good Huntress but would make a poor multi million lien business owner.

Of the two of them, WHitley does make a better candidate so far as he's at least shown himself to be able to smile politely even if he doesn't agree with something, only getting angry when Weiss accused him of basically stealing her title. Very little of what you are saying has any real relevance to being a CEO or anything else. She did have good reasons for her attitude in all of those cases, just like she had good reasons for her outburst. Trying to compare Jacques to Weiss, it is important to note that the attitude Jacques was taking towards Ironwood was hardly one that could persuade a change in policy. An element of compassion is desirable in a CEO simply because it is sometimes necessary to win good will with others. Everyone gets emotional and lashes out, but the key is when one reacts that way. You can criticize her behavior, but in every case she is right to be upset and is usually right in the criticism she offers. I suspect Whitley would have the same problem as Jacques in business, or perhaps be worse as he strikes me as being a little more unstable.
