Women, better manager ?

When it comes to the management, we naturally look towards big management schools and end up with a man well dressed as a manager who wears a smile on face all the time and who knows all the situations and their respective handling. But this is a truth half known. Men must be taught rigorously to become a manager who after years of hard work learns new skills that they use as panacea for every problem. And the same men struggle to find their car keys and wallet at the office time back home. So got some clue, who can be a natural manager, yes you are there! A woman, who has all the abilities in built and she just starts managing stuff, life right from the word go!

It is not just that woman manage a much perplexed house than office matters that men deals with, she also has the ability to maintain the arrangement that is must for management. For example as soon as a particular file is done, she would first place it on right rack then will proceed to new task, while men will let them pile on one side at least till the evening or congestion at desk, whichever comes first. This is similar to the example in which a husband will waste five minutes in looking up a car key that he kept few hours ago and her wife would take just a minute to get the gas cylinder book which she used a month ago.

Management is a very broad term and hence a manager cannot be confined to a specific kind of management. They must manage even those issues which were neither taught to them nor were expected. For example, an employee walks up to a manager and complains about down computer. Now manager is not supposed to fix a computer but here they will have to either arrange a new pc immediately or see if some other employee is not using their pc which can be given to troubled employee temporarily. Here too woman wins the race as back home they help kids in their homework. Here she deals with even those subjects which are either alien to her or are beyond her understandings. In such case she will work hard to grasp the subject and help kids. Similarly she will take care of husband’s mood and kids’ demands. Considering the down pc case again, man soon will be frustrated if the solution does not appear and will eventually ask the employee to take another task.

Multitasking is another characteristic that makes a manager superior and more efficient and studies have proved that women can multi task much better than men. They can cook on two burners while attending a phone call and a postman at door while if same task is given to men, some of the tasks will suffer for sure. We have seen numerous cases when men meet accidents more than often if they use their cell phone on the way.

Given same amount every month, a woman smartly meets the ends of the month while man will run for a credit card use if even a single extra expenditure pops up.
Scientifically speaking, woman mind is adept at management as she can multitask while keeping equal concentration on all tasks in hand. She has good arrangement habits by default and her attitude of keeping things easy makes her a better choice for the post of manager.
