"I have only had one female supervisor who did a good job, (she was very good btw), and I have noticed that women too seem to prefer a male supervisor."

Well, I have thus far only had one female supervisor, and she was the most incompetent manager I have ever seen (this was in R&D of a major chemical company). She knew neither technology nor management.

The good one we had was middle aged, heavy set and real good natured. She sort of had a Mother complex but could give orders with no trouble.

All of the bad ones were the petty, hysterical type, just looking for someone to do something wrong, even if it were minor.

Of our male supervisors, maybe 2/3 were good ones. A couple of the good ones were extraordinarily good. All the good ones were at least slightly tough but always fair minded.
