The best bosses I ever had were men. Yes, usually taller than me (5’8”).
One of my favorite “bosses” was actually shorter than you, but never had a “little man” complex. He was a hoot when my daughter was born, he wanted no part of her. This is a man with 5 children, 14 grandchildren, and at least 3 great grandchildren, but has a total fear of infants. Once they start walking and/or talking he’s in love, but until then.......
