You REALLY think that 5"4 guys get taken as seriously as 6"4 guys? Come on......

Lloyd Blankfien, the CEO of Goldman Sachs is MAYBE 5'5. Pretty sure lots of people the world over take him pretty damned seriously.
Sure there are a few but they have to be beyond exceptional to get there, more than someone over 6 feet would have to be. I once heard/read that one of Warren Buffetts investment strategies is to invest in companies that have short CEOs because they have to be exceptional leaders to have reached that position with the height prejudice we have in America.

I can honestly say that in my professional life, I have never seen it play out that a less competent tall guy gets listened to more than a more competent short guy. I have literally never seen this.
Maybe I've been lucky enough to work with and for people with above average intelligence, I really don't know. But what I do know is that if I had the slightest urge to make such an irrational connection, I would immediately suppress it.

I'm sorry, but that sounds like BS. I'd have to see a link on that.
