论文摘要
平等机会是精英概念的核心。机会和领导力应归于最有资格获得绩效的人，而不是基于任意或无关的属性。由于其对该领域的巨大影响，这一原则对于高级领导而言是最重要的。目前，社区中的许多人都认为，领导者的选择充满了精英级，并且经常受到裙带关系的驱动。这可能是为什么代表性不足的原因比功能正常的专有权所期望的要差得多。如果我们想改变这一点，我们需要改变行为，即实践。
Equal opportunity is central to the concept of meritocracy. Opportunity and leadership should go to the people most qualified by performance, and not on the basis of arbitrary or irrelevant attributes. This principle is arguably most important for high-level leadership due to their outsized impact on the field. At the moment, many in the community perceive that the choice of leaders is infused with a lack of meritocracy and too often driven by cronyism. This is possibly a reason why far worse underrepresentation persists than could be expected from a functioning meritocracy. If we want to change this, we need to change our behavior, i.e., practices.
