Preference! Male Boss or Female Boss? What's Your Choice??

As a male, I have had both male and female bosses and have appreciated and respected both, I believe, as they merited it. Of course, every boss (and every worker) is an individual and every person has their own way of dealing with a relationship. Boss-worker is no less of a relationship than parent-child, husband-wife, boyfriend-girlfriend, friend-friend or friend-enemy. All of these can come into play depending on the characters of the boss and the employee and how their past relationships have affected them. I think that I would trust a male boss more for straight talking and to understand my strengths but I would trust a female boss more to understand my weaknesses and to place me in a position where I could be most effective. A boss is a boss, when it comes down to it, but a boss is also (or should be) a friend - of sorts - and there is always a difference between a male-male friendship and a female-male friendship. There can also be differences and caveats due to age (but I think not so much). When it comes down to it, one respects one's boss for what they do, not what they are, and it doesn't matter how old they are or whether they are male or female: it is how good they are at their job that matters (and how well they understand your role and how you perform it).

I have worked for both, mainly men bosses. But I've had my share of women bosses. I would have to say that I enjoy having a male boss better. They are always more on task and not so rude. Or maybe I just don't care when they are rude. When I had a woman boss, she came out of nowhere, and thought she was miss hot-shot. She got rid of me in order to make the company have all women working, even though I made them the most money and the customers liked me the best.

I don't mind either way really. Having worked for both male and female bosses I can't really say there was much difference. I tend to get on better with a female boss but that may be due to me being a flirt and a bit of a joker so I could be a bit more cheeky than I would be with a male boss.

hi artistry, regarding working under male or female bosses,i think it may not effect any difference in working ,but in my work period i have worked in male bosses,i does not have experience in female bosses,now i am doing a private work,there two little female bosses will be there,when ever i have doubts i will call them over phone and knowing about the doubts,but both are far away from me,have a nice day

There are some differences, but not major ones. I think it depends on the personality, not the gender. It's just how they manage their subordinate. I have been working for both female and male boss, and it's a great experience.

I prefere a male boss to female boss. why is the female boss they worry too much and you can satitfy them.

For me, there is no difference between a female boss and a male boss. It depends on their attitude towards their subordinates. Some male boss are very effective to their position because they are so very authoritative, but some male boss are successful through persuasion. That situation will also be possible on female boss. its not their gender that matters, its their attitude.

My boss is a female and I have nothing against it. Though in comparison, there are some difference in the way they manage us, still no problems with it. My boss is more strict in implementing the basic rules and policy in our organization. She is pretty much more scrutinized with our reports and outputs. But for me, its quite more effective in our organizations goals and having us more confident with our jobs.
