Female or Male Boss

Yes. You are correct.  I fully agree with you  RESMIJEE   and wish to add that  BOSS IS BOSS WHETHER MALE OR FEMALE.

Two words : Manager and Boss have no gender tag attached. What does it mean ? "Sex" does not matter. Only question arises :-

--  Whether good boss or not ( in generally accepted norms )

--  Whether good Manager or not

Are we trying to create a discrimination here?  I report to a male boss, my subordinates report to me, a female. There are certain qualities that a subordinate wishes to see in his / her boss, and I don’t think the sex, race or religion or any demographic aspects have a bearing on the preference over Boss. I am with Ahmed neither in favour of the two.  I think Toostep designers have to think of adding one more option for the participants to cast NEUTRAL vote, to make the voting exercise effective and accurate.

i also support to your point since gender is not a criteria at all. The boss should be one who is capable, in every means . The capability of a male boss cannot be found in a female boss and vice versa. there has to be a rating done between both regarding the capabilities and then the appropriate person must be chosen.

Depends on the ideas working out in a persons mind and how he implements among his subordinates to achieve the goal.

Hi All

In today’s world the boss have to be genderless. It does not matter whether it is male or female. They need to have these traits. I had fair amount of bosses in my career both male and female. For me it was tough initially but once we are used to the changes it does not matter.  

Boss

- being action oriented and analytical; but also strongly demonstrate strong feminine values and behaviors, such as nurturing, collaboration, and holistic thinking.

- Speaking and Paradoxical ways–these bosses are consistently tough and empathic, flexible and orderly, patient and timely, diplomatic and candid, competitive and collaborative.

- Community builders-promote interactive leadership; create a strategy to bring people together, believing that organizations without weaving unravel into dysfunction. These leaders believe power is to be shared.

- Holistic thinkers-are adept at building trust, and understand it to be a key element for creating a productive and creative culture. They see beyond the obvious and connect the dots between important issues.

-Relational intelligence-they hold themselves and others to high ethical standards, and believe the integrity of relationship is paramount. Demonstrate relational intelligence by being sensitive to context, expert at clarifying issues, but willing to be confrontational and compassionate as necessary.

I am fully supporting the concept of Mr. Ahmed. The gender is not at all a criteria, I have worked with both the gender and both has their own merits and demerits based on the personality traits and nothing I  could figure out based on their gender.
