I'll follow a woman somewhere before I'd follow a dude. I think one of the best things I have seen effective women bosses do is "be themselves". When leaders, women or men, are insecure, it makes it hard to deal with. When women act extra tough to compensate for what they think men will respond to, it is a bad situation. I work at a school and the principal is clearly intimidated by men. She emasculates them and micromanages to keep people under her thumb. She doesn't trust anyone to get anything done. She wants everyone to report to her and get clearance about every detail. She is hard to work for. A lot of the teachers are apathetic and there is absolutely no school pride on the campus. People respect respect. We also respect rules that the leaders follow. If I have those clearly set out, I'll follow a skirt anywhere. The shorter the better... In some cases.
