Who's Better: Male or Female Managers?

July 31, 2009— -- In a 2008 Pew Research Center survey, Americans said that when it comes to most leadership traits, women rated as well as if not better than men. Yet many workers admit that they prefer to work for one gender over another. Some say men are less dramatic in the workplace and more direct. Others say women make better mentors and offer more useful feedback. Still others say gender has nothing to do with it -- that it's all about the person in the manager's chair.
