Are women better managers than men?

This topic has been discussed number of times on news media, shows etc. But this is a flawed way to pose questions like this. Let's try to understand what this question means. The terms "better managers" is the point of contention here. So before giving an opinion about the topic, let's first understand what makes a person a better manager? There are lot of skills like better people management, better management in terms of resources, employees, clients, handling stressful situations, prioritising task etc etc. As the qualities seem by themselves don't have any gender bias to them. But certainly they are.

Women have the traditional maternal attributes in them which make them to be empathising and caring toward people. Women are more intent to listen and understand others and handle conflicting and stressful situations in work place far more better than men. Although this can be true about men too. But going by the stereotypical roles of women above is true.

Whereas men are good at problem solving, risk taking, hard working and they are driven. Men can drive many work and are goal oriented and good at hard skills. But there are also examples of women doing in hard skills and being driven to achieve their targets.

So if we get out of our stereotypical mindset and start analysing a person based on their skills and qualities then we can refrain ourselves from asking these kind of questions. We should ask whether a person is good manager or not.
