The Boss Is Always A She - Growing Women Bosses In Blogs

The Boss Is Always A She - Growing Women Bosses In Blogs There is a growing debate about women in senior management roles (or the lack of them in senior management roles). Its a valid debate and those who are involved in management are probably having an educated discussion about it (well, hope so!). As a blogger and reader of all things digital, I see a lot of sentences that when they mention a boss usually say Speak to your boss, he will blah blah blah or something along the lines of Speak to your boss, they will . blah blah blah Why does no one ever write Speak to your boss, she will. blah blah blah ? A boss shouldnt by default have to be a HE Men by default are not born bosses. Its not a right of man to be a boss. Ive got anything against them us (cos I am a man you know).

It will help me be consistent and if I have to randomly pick a choice, Ive picked She for a boss. I write for students and graduates and feel in part it is our duty to help educate them that a male or a female boss doesnt matter. So many blogs are published which attribute boss to a he by default. So this is my small way of changing that, in my blog from now on the boss will always be a She. To my male bosses you are as good as female bosses. Dont feel insecure. Whilst you are on the same topic, here are 5 myths about why there arent women at top (Guardian).
