My boss is considering promoting a female colleague, but I think she is too emotional and irrational to handle the job. How should I tell my boss that she is not suitable for the promotion?

You should highlight the issues you observe that are causing you concern and suggest ways in which the colleague could overcome them, while also emphasizing your support for her promotion. You could also propose other solutions which would allow both of you to work productively together. Finally, it may be beneficial to arrange a meeting with your boss and the candidate wherein the two of you can have an open discussion about these points.

Start by highlighting the specific instances where you think she has been emotional or irrational and provide specific examples. Discuss how her behavior has impacted team morale, decision making process, customer/stakeholder satisfaction and overall work performance. Share your opinion on what changes are needed for her to take on the role successfully, such as obtaining coaching or further training.
