Men are seen as better bosses, a study as revealed

A massive 63 per cent of women and 75 per cent of men said they would rather have a man in charge at work.

Female bosses were accused of being sharp-tongued, hormonal, too cliquey and incapable of leaving their personal lives at home.

A third of those quizzed claimed women bosses will stab colleagues in the back and constantly feel threatened by others in positions of authority.

Both male and female workers believe male bosses were less likely to get involved in office politics, easier to reason with and rarely had mood swings.

Men are also said to be more straight-talking than women and rarely talk about others behind their backs.

David Brown, from UKJobs.net, which questioned 3,000 workers, said: “This indicates that while women might be more than capable of progressing to a management role, they lack some of the key skills required to be a good boss.”
