I have had great female and male bosses. I have also had horrid bosses of each sex.

This article is so wrong in so many ways. In short she does not know how to be boss and never will. It has nothing to do with her sex but her poor leadership qualities.

Agree completely with your first paragraph. However, leadership is a skill set, which means it can be learned. Becoming a great boss doesn't happen by accident, and mediocrity is practically the default. All of my best bosses were constantly working to improve themselves and their management skills. My worst bosses were people who just assumed their position meant they were experts in everything. There was never any growth, and they got progressively worse over time. This is the writer's first foray into management. Asking for help navigating new challenges is a promising sign.
