[quote=Anonymous]This is a really interesting question. 
First, I think it is really hard to compare - how many supervisors have you had in total over 15 years? 10 maybe? So not a huge sampling, it could just be 10 different personalities. Some you click with, some you don’t. 
I have like my female supervisors on the whole. I work in a male dominated industry. The women who get to management  are very direct & focused. They have families/lives outside of work, but don’t talk about it much. They are busy, they give me direction but also expect good work - no micromanaging if they trust you, they have other stuff to do. 
I find they are very efficient, get shit done, brief small talk - I love that. They expect me to handle my crap & if I can’t, come to them. I find the male managers are more chatty in one on ones, ask how you are after sick time (I think bc they have been coached to do this to be a good manager). Male managers seem to have more time…do more monologuing in team meetings. I much prefer the women managers I have had who are more focused on the task at hand.  [/quote]
