"The (Gallup) survey…found women were
more likely than men to want a male boss…In the 60 years that Gallup has conducted this survey, women have never preferred a female boss."
I'm reminded of H.L. Mencken's definition of a misogynist: "A man who hates women as much as women hate one another."
Women Dislike Having Female Bosses More Than Men Do - Businessweek
Well, I have had both. The female boss was tougher and smarter. She was the head of our hospital for many years. She was fair and her priority was the health and comfort of the patients. She was not above bending the rules in favour of the patient,
She was all business. and knew how to handle the government cash watch dogs.......whooooo boy, just run contrary to the care of patients, look out. After getting a male bureaucrat as the executive director, did we all wish she was back.
The male boss concentrated on saving money. Everything was regimented, from the time given to a grieving parent,spouse, to his taste in decorating the hospital was imposed. Waiting times increased and less services offered. So, for me, it depends on the woman or the man. It seems that most women have to work twice as hard to gain 1/2 the recognition of men. They have had to become very tough to get even a foothold.
He talked down to everyone..........moved an hospital from a friendly helpful institution to an arm of the government. He imposed his
opinion on all medical questions, most of which moved patients from friendly helpful staff to staff more mindful of government regulation.
