Women make better bosses. That's the finding of a new report, which found that women in management positions lead in a more democratic way, allow employees to participate in decision-making, and establish interpersonal channels of communication.
"In line with known gender differences in individual leadership, we find that in workplaces with more women managers, more individualized employee feedback is carried out," says Eduardo Melero, a professor in the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid department of business administration and author of "Are Workplaces With Many Women in Management Run Differently?" published in the Journal of Business Research. "Likewise, we can see evidence, although weaker, that in these workplace decisions are made more democratically and more interpersonal channels of communications are established."
