Dear Editor,
I was
reading the article „Which bosses are the best?“ from your newspaper the Guardian
the other day and as a female student at a business college, I want to give you
my opinion on that. Basically what the article is about, is the disparity
between male and female managers. It also mentions, that only 7 % of
secretaries would prefer a female boss instead of a male boss.
I totally
agree with your opinion that women will become more common around the conference
table. You mentioned that women are more flexible, more empathic and have more listening
skills. This manner will become normal at office soon. Women will be more and
more inquired at leading positions because of their advantages towards men.
Especially young female managers are getting more common in business life. This
is our future. Men are still representing a substantial number of managers but
the direction changes slowly.
What
shocked me most was that nearly 100 % of secretaries prefer a male boss. This
may be the cause of the overwhelming majority of female secretaries. Female
managers are critical in a personal way and that affects a woman a lot more
than a man. Even though this evidence, women should constitute more manager
positions.
I hope this
letter gives you an idea about my opinion.
Sincerely,
Katja Höller
