From the Paper:

"Moreover, her position of power would not be threatened if she listened attentively to her colleagues. In fact, her colleagues would respect rather than fear her as they seem to now. It is highly likely that Marlene's self esteem is too closely linked to her position of power and that she feels threatened by Betty. Marlene might also learn how to work better with Betty, respecting Betty's different background not only as a Kiwi but also as a proud PhD graduate."
