Just find a way of "ass licking" them. My first boss when I joined the banking sector was a woman. I would praise her to high heaven. Sometimes she came with food from home and while eating it, I would be like, " Madam, this food smells nice and your husband must be enjoying". She would laugh and always found ways of trying to tell me things so that I would give her the kind of answers she would want.

I would praise her and her kids to high heavens to the extent that I had to come to her house to coach her son that was preparing for Federal government college entrance exam then. She was so impressed that I was favored among the staff under her. She was mean to the core and was dreaded by all, but I found favor with her. Sometimes, she sent me to her house with driver to pick up something and I practically warmed myself to her. It was a game I played very well since I could not change or select my boss. She was the one doing appraisal and a lot of things are taken into consideration. If you have been into corporate world, you would understand.

There was time she did 10 years marriage anniversary and invited everybody, including staff. I was practically serving food, doing every chore. When people left that Sunday evening, I went to the back of the house and started washing plates and coolers with her Nanny. She came to the back of the house to drop some plates and found me and shouted that I should leave the place and stop washing the plates. I said, " madam, don't worry, it was nothing." She stood there and was looking at me.

It was around, 8:30pm and I was about to go. She was staying in a massive duplex in festac, while I was leaving at Ire-Akari estate. She insisted that I should not go, that I should go and sleep at their boys quarter. But I told her that tomorrow was Monday and I needed to go home and prepare for work. She said I should not bother coming to the office in the morning and should take two days off. I did stay in their house, helped her kids with their weekend homework and other things.

In the morning, before leaving, the husband gave me N10k and one new Turkish suite that he has not used before. The man is well to do anyway. Since that day, I was one of the most favored staff, recommending me for promotion. This was someone that everybody saw as "wicked" and feared by staff. She could shout to people anyhow and woe to you if you fail to balance your investment account after close of business.

When an opportunity came for someone to be recommended for a new project, she didn't waste time and put me forward. It was not that I was not good on my job, but I needed to build good relationship with her to help my career. In life and in corporate world, your boss can determine the trajectory of your growth. You must manage the person and play to his/her sentiments and massage ego.

But you must know your job and be dedicated. Adding interpersonal relationship and managing difficult bosses are just the icing on the cake.

The ones I have worked with are the very direct opposite of what you described above... They are highly professional, goal-oriented, driven to succeed, strict (Quite strict), result inclined, motherly, and highly disciplined.

So, it all depends on who you meet with and your own character or work ethics too.

Female boss are the easiest personality to deal with. It's not about them, it is about you.

When dealing with a female boss, one thing you need to master is your emotions. Forget your ego and stoop to conquer. Make sure you always compliment them. Anytime she make a decision, flatter her and say you look up to her. Bingo! You're starting to getting her fall into your trap. She will start thinking about you. Don't stop there, buy her gifts. Compliment her. Make sure you know more about her. Make her a friend. Be interested in her like a family. But never lose yourself. Be professional in your work. Watch as events unfold and she will be fond of you.

Most are perfectionist at work, also emotional, but usually fail on their children and husband at home. They tend not to be able to balance both, sometimes resulting to transferring the frustration at home on the staff members at work.

So are male bosses. Or how do you explain a male boss sending his subordinate to go and buy a pack of pampers for him?

Alot of women are bread winners of their family and as a result, their responsible children especially the males don't come on nairaland to insult their own mothers like the demented, ugly redpillers do.

Enough with the disguised Taliban support. It will definitely backfire.

I purposely didn't reply you before to avoid unnecessary gender arguments.

There's a big difference between officiating men and women. Simple!

My personal observation:If she married and in a stable home, then it's likely you'll have the best of time with her.

If she's having issues at home, especially with darling hubby, it might spill into the workplace and overly ambitious subordinates who remind her of DH may incur her wrath.

For the unmarried ones, I think its a little more complex: Of my 5 female bosses, 3 were unmarried. But it's only one who had real issues. The remaining two were very okay.

All the same I agree it's wrong to generalize that all female bosses are bad.

we aren’t talking about a female colleague. We are talking about a boss. Stop saying it’s about you.
If she is toxic, she is toxic. And you don’t expect every employee to understand how to manage everyone emotion.

My impression about female Bosses changed when I worked with one. That was the best moment of my career.

Till tomorrow I still cherish the few moment I worked with her.....

When I was about leaving, she asked me to drop my offer letter that she will double whatever amount I was offered . She did.....


Note: She is the only boss I work with that will give you a task or project that will build you yet still guide you through all the way....

Madam P, God will continue to Bless you in all you do...

that's why they are the weaker gender. The inability to manage personal emotional issues.
