I have managed few hundred people at one point or another. I have never worked for a woman, but have had a lot of camaraderie with many female colleagues. At one firm I worked at, women of my level would keep each other informed of various “inside information,” and we often supported each other. At my current job now (very new), women are inviting me out for drinks and meetings to network. I would say 95% of people who have worked for me would work for me again (they have reached to me after I left), but for some reason there are these 5% of people who have had very strong reactions to me. They didn’t like my style of management or our interactions. I do wonder if they didn’t like the fact I was a strong woman, or maybe I was just too aggressive for them in general. I have and do continue to mentor people, not just women.
