According to this article people still like working for a man. A survey of 2,059 adults found that both men and women would prefer to work for a male boss. Though 41% of respondents said they had no preference, 35% said that, if given the choice, they would choose a male boss over a female boss. Twenty-three percent said they’d rather have a female boss. But what is the difference between working for a man and a woman?

Women are often accused of being more personal and relationship-orientated, but there is no evidence that men are more task-oriented then women. However, the most obvious difference is the leadership style. There are small, but noticeable differences between male and female managers, but the similarities between female and male managers are much greater than the inequalities. I believe that it is better to focus on leaders and their skills, regardless of gender.
