Since beginning my career (after undergrad and grad schools), I have worked with all female bosses except for one. Now that I think back, even when I worked at the numerous fast food stores during my younger days (my bosses then were mostly male), I have found it much easier to work with...FEMALES. My current boss (supervisor) is wonderful and I consider her to be a good friend. I've found my female bosses to be more receptive in understanding my personality, what I stand for, and what I expect from them as people in authority. I've also found them to have a better appreciation for my contributions to my profession and to the agencys for which I have (and continue) to work for. And with being in the fields of social work and counseling, a boss' ability to display these qualities has been crucial and vital in successful productivity of employees.
Now this is NOT to say that I would not be able to find these qualities in MALE bosses. However, I've not yet had the opportunity to encounter one. I guess that my opinion is kinda biased in that the majority of my bosses have been female. But that's the great thing about OPINIONS...they can always be changed, right?
