I always believed that women become good work place managers,because they manage home very well. I thought the same with work place. But my recent experience shows other wise. my team lead is a women, the entire team was having trouble moving forward. My team lead single handedly destroyed a very good project .
It might be just a isolated case where my TL happened to be a women. also this was the topic for group discussion in a job interview. I Got this subject there. so don’t accuse me as a discriminator
what do you people think?

competence has no sex.some women are more efficient than some men.i had some work with some people.the boss was a slow indecisive men and we had to give him a push in order not to be a funny team.

i have seen good and bad managers and their sex wasn't the the reason for success or failure.

Although we do not live in the Stone Age
but still There are similar to some habits that indicates retardation
There is no difference in whatever if  she or he  a man or a woman
Women can succeed in anything by  thier  clever and will, resolve

True, but women have a more human side which is a good thing . my team lead never allowed me to work on saturdays. but however,she used to turn up late to work and make others sit in office for more time.

now You are not talking about your team lead
now You speaking  about  all  women
Why women when committed some wrong  the some people think    Because (she)or of  being  a woman ?
why the some people  when women committed some wrong  Accuse all women ?
what about if your manger(team lead) was a man would you saying( DO MEN  MAKE GOOD MANAGERS?

first i wish  you good luck in your work.
I did not mean  you  are only
that's  truth .. even though we live in Age of Globalization
However, out of ideas still exist
I saw you deleted  that your  post ..it was referring to the women's best to stay at home
I saw the last modification in  your first post
But I believe in freedom of opinion and other views
and  you know  my point 
there is no  life or developing(evolution) without women

yes, there is no  life or developing(evolution) without women,

I did NOT say women have to sit at home. I will never say that either. Women are equal in most of the things. But i believe Men have slightly better advantage in Operational Managment because of their aggresivness, and Women have have advantage in Human resourse management.

May be it is just socity. Indian women manager are More humane than their male counterparts. Men are aggresive , hence might bring more money to the company, but Men are poor in judgment, are force others to work overtime etc.
