Furthermore, she states that she floated the idea of resigning months earlier, and then tendered her resignation because she decided on her own that this guy flaking in a very unprofessional manner somehow invalidated her leardership. It sounds like her co-founders were angry and upset at the candidate, not her.
I think there could be a lot of truth to what Sheryl Sandberg says about men's self-confidence and sense of entitlement (often to a fault) being a huge factor in the disparity in male/female leadership in tech.
When you're leading, it doesn't necessarily matter who is at fault. Hiring someone who screws up reflects on the leader. Likewise, being unable to pull in the talent was a problem.
