The first eyebrow-waggler is the attachment of these buzz-words to just one department, or chapter, or course. If thought leadership arises only from this part of the firm, are all the other consultants unthinking followers? And does the chief information officer, or head of knowledge management, work for the providers of thought leadership, or do they work for ///her?/// Which brings on the second waggler: does anyone know what any of these people do? Ah, no. That would require real thought, not to mention the other thing.
What does "her" relate to ?
I'm a bit lost here. Thanks for your help.

: The feminine pronoun is sometimes used by certain incredibly zealous proponents of 'political correctness', in an attempt to remind us not to make automatic gender assumptions just because we use the masculine pronoun in the absence of a neuter one

Est-ce que ça pourrait se rapporter à "though leadership"?
