We all (regardless of gender) like to work under a man when the firm is doing well. But when the company is going through hard times, we trust the woman more.
We all (regardless of gender) like to work under a man when the firm is doing well. But when the company is going through hard times, we trust the woman more. Social psychologists Susanne Bruckmueller and Nyla Branscombe explain this choice by gender stereotypes, according to which a male manager is more independent and easier to make decisions. Women leaders, by all accounts, have a better sense of the situation, are able to optimize the work of the team, increase motivation, and improve communication and cooperation. The authors of the study believe that approximately the same number of men and women in leadership positions will help to balance the chances and risks of the company.
