Who's the Better Boss?

I think men bosses are more demanding AND NOT to caring in way for Women with children ,sports.school activties, Women bosses are way more better and really know how to connect with male employees,,

Although I mostly agree with what has been said here, I have had one job that the woman I worked for cut my legs out from underneath me because she felt threatened by me and I was subsequently fired for something she told our district managers and it wasn't true in the slightest bit!...So it can go both ways...just food for thought...

It depends on the type of person they are not their gender. Either a woman or a man, both have the same ability to be a great "boss"

I don't think the work "BOSS" has the any gender for the "meaning" I have had alot of diff kinds of bosses and no matter what male or female I still wan to be on theirgood side!!

I really dont think that you could pick a better gender for the leadership roll. It depends on the individual. Maybe women excell in certain things that men dont but, i think its equally balanced.

I rather have a female boss because you seem to relate more. With my experience I will take a woman over a man any day.

My working experience has been that a female boss with a female administrative assistant can be a rather tricky relationship. Sadly, some women find it difficult to take direction from other women and want to fight back on every suggestion that you give them, especially if they have been working at the organization for a long time and you ,as their boss, are a "newbie". Honestly, I would rather have a male assistant than a female. I know it sounds like I'm criticizing my own gender, but as a person who detests confrontation, I have had some rather unpleasant run-ins with female assistants who would criticize the assignments I provided and were allowed to bad-mouth the entire company! So being a female boss is itself a difficult position to hold!

I think it does not matter you what you are if a men or a women as long as you have the skill to run a business and be a boss. Women boss look more bossy becuase it harder for them to get listen to than men boss.

summersmooothie - that is a good point you bring up. I never thought of the "drama" SOME women bring to the company.

I really think that men make better bosses. Having experience working under both genders, I found that male bosses keep work exactly what it is: work. They don't start drama or bring in emotions or feelings. Men tend to keep things more professional and strictly so, rather than the women who I worked under who try to be everyones friend and appease everyone, which eventually creates alot of conflict.

The obvious answer here is the ladies. Think about it - we are typically the ones who juggle the kids and all their activities and schooling, plus the house and often times a job too. We are the ones who have all the birthdays and special occasions for HIS family memorized in addition to our own and they have no clue. We are the ones who have to be the nurturer, nurse, referee, cook, maid, taxi driver and teacher and still make life fun :) It's alot of multi tasking, something the guys just cant do as good as we do. Being the boss carries similar responsibilities to running a household. Yeah, we can get emotional or OCD, but thats not always a bad thing. It can be what motivates and drives us to be better then the guys. From the jobs I have had, I find that the men tend to get sidetracked by boobs. They cant even multi task looking at them and continuing to hold a decent conversation at the same time so I dont know how they could be better bosses then us ;p

I think that women do make better bosses because they could be more compassionate towards your feelings more then men. though some of what i am saying is going to be in theory and not trying to lable/stereotype. I have had the pleasure of having both male and females as bosses and I find from my experience, men tend to take gambles more, be more pressured to do things then women are. not to say that women have a better and clear head then men. (again this is from my experience) they tend to be more cautious and test the waters first before diving in in my opinion.

This is a Good Blog',. And a Tricky 1. But I do aggree that Women bosses are more caring and organzied, then men bosses are. I Guess it's comes out to be a Girl Power thing!!!!! LOL
