In regards to the above, it seems that she places a heavy emphasis on reputation and public image/goodwill, but not much of anything else in terms of actual business knowledge (i.e. how to make more efficient & effective means of revenue, how to market Dust, how to reduce costs in an ethical manner, how to make excellent investments and innovate the company). I would like to see her demonstrate these skills by the time she gets her hands on the company. I hate youngsters who suddenly become CEO based only on their righteousness, only to try to learn and catch up on how to run a business. Keep in mind I'm studying marketing in my university, so this would naturally piss me off more.

In other words, I want to see her prove to everyone why she's the best CEO for the job.

And even then, for all her technical knowledge in school, she lacks subtlety and tact - something that's very important when building a public image. Her behaving like a raging asshat at the charity ball, even though she was in the right is very counterintuitive to her plan. Especially if the media was there to blow it out of proportion the day after.

I wrote a little fic between Weiss and Whitley that basically sums all of this up: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12332328/1/No-Two-Snowflakes-Are-Alike
