Women Need Great Bosses

So How Do We Get Them? Or BE Them?

I Googled “Why women need a great boss.”

The results all came back, and they were all about how women could BE a good boss, not why women need to have good leadership.

I wanted to write a piece about what happens why we have good leaders, and what happens when we don’t. So I was a little surprised when I was greeted with articles about why women might make better managers than men, and what skills women have that make them better bosses. I mean, okay, that’s good and all, and great stuff for me to learn and tuck away, but what I was rooting around for was why we need good leadership of any gender and what happens when we don’t have someone in our corner, the thwarting that occurs and how we might overcome that.

But I think I’ll shift my focus a bit, because Google seems to know the direction I should take here better than I do today.
