Brain Studies Explain Why Women Make Better Bosses
Unpacking the science behind “women mature faster than men”
For the longest time, men have hidden behind the excuse that women just tend to mature faster than men, especially emotionally.
It is often used as a ridiculous excuse for failed relationships and for general male douchebaggery.
I decided to take a look at the actual science and reasons behind this belief — and looking at the actual science behind it, I am convinced this is a fact.
However, it is also a fact that shouldn’t end up being a crutch for men’s bad behaviors, but a reaffirmation and logical explanation for something I’ve personally always believed.
Women make better bosses at the workplace — and now there’s enough science to back it and for us to change the horribly male-biased mix of corporate CEOs.
As a reminder, in 2022, we celebrated a “record high” for the number of female CEOs for Fortune 500 companies at a whopping…
… wait for it….
44!
Yes, 8.8 % of Fortune 500 CEOs are women — and we’re celebrating. Wow! Women make up about 50% of the world, and in the corporate CEO landscape, they make a meager 8.8% and that’s a record high. Enough said!
