Who can you trust more to handle your business, man or woman?

[goaldigger]

We are in a new generation now where every gender can lead, and in business gender is just a gender.
Though some business requires a specific gender and that could be the exception. If you are into business and thinking who to hire then better to look for credentials and background instead of looking for the right gender because it’s useless if that person didn’t suit the job.

* If you intend to start your business or you already do and are looking for the best candidate to fill the top management position, would you trust a man or a woman to handle the affairs of the business?

Before placing someone to manage the business certain things will be put into consideration before hiring a male or female manager,( 1) the nature of the business (2) The level of technical knowledge if it is a technical job (3) experience (4) the outcome of my interview with them.
Nature of the business: If it is a business that requires a lot of physical work or strength, the right choice will be a male manger but if it is a business that needs marketing or advertisement a female manager will like be my choice but if it's a business that requires someone with a good experience I will definitely choose someone with experience not minding the gender.

[Fortify]

Am sure many arguments have ensued from the disparity in management that both gender, the man and the woman, can bring to the table as regards managing a business to scale heights of progress.
While a man is preferred for some, in order cases, the women are more favorite to handle top management positions due to their multitasking ability or dedication to vision of the company that's unwavering.

* If you intend to start your business or you already do and are looking for the best candidate to fill the top management position, would you trust a man or a woman to handle the affairs of the business?

* What reasons would you suggest are right, for picking and trusting a particular gender to handle a top management position of your business?

Let's discuss!

I see no difference between the two really, you can have good and bad in both sexes. It really comes down to the individual and the specific role you are seeking for them in the business. If you are looking for an accountant, you can find equally skilled men and women, just look at the output of the university courses as proof. Men have traditionally made their way to the top and there is a bit of inertia involved in that. However in many of the most developed societies this is starting to balance out a lot more. It never really made sense for women to be paid less when oftentimes they were doing the same role as men, at least when talking about more corporate environments. It's a good thing we have progressed to this point.

For me, gender alone isn't a determining factor in choosing someone to lead my business. What matters most to me is the person's experience. However, in some cases, businesses may require gender-specific roles.For example, if I were to invest in a marketing firm, I might prefer a woman as the chairperson because I believe women excel in marketing. There may be certain roles within the business that are more suited to men. Gender doesn't have a significant impact on my decision-making process. What's crucial for any business is shared experience and a high level of resilience.

What I would rather be looking for will be the best candidate to fill the top management position and not a man nor a woman. Unless the job has to do with physical power, women are equally capable as men are. Society has just put women at the bottom and it’s all assumptions. All women aren’t the same, and all men aren’t the same. Right now, there are woman somewhere who are pulling smart ideas and making more money than so many men than census can count. Let it be about the person and not the gender.

In terms of managing business, I do not look at the gender of the person but their background, portfolio, attitude and current performance.  I am not gender-biased because I believe in equality. There are cases where female excel than males so if I wanted for my business to have more chance of success, I'd rather choose the right person than missing that person because of being a gender-biased.

* What reasons would you suggest are right, for picking and trusting a particular gender to handle a top management position of your business?

It is right to pick and trust people who deserve them.  Being blinded because we are biased will not give bring us a success.  Remember, male or female, they are both human.  Have the ability to think, manage, and plan things.  So choosing which one deserves the spot of managing a business is should depend on how good the person's performance and capability is and should not be dependent on the gender of the person.

Have you experienced working in a company? If so, you must have known that the gender has nothing to do with who has the better ability to handle your own business. It is true that women can do multi-tasking, so as the men. A lot of people also often say that what a man does, women can also manage to do the same thing, and vice versa.

So, if I will start my own business, gender will not really matter. As long as that person is capable and has a pleasing personality, that person is fit for the job.

And to add to that, why are we still discussing this? I mean we are in an era that gender is not a thing anymore? Maybe except for countries that are really strict because of their religion. But now, everything is very open now.

So to answer this, doesn't matter, as long as the person can do the job right away, then get that individual.

We shouldn't be gender biased, it has proven already that any sexes right now can do their job more than we expect them to be. And most of them are really that competitive and will go above and beyond their duty to finished the job.

Precisely. Experience and its credentials matter the most, gender will only be the last option. While men dominate in businesses way back years ago, but now it’s more on equality in what man can do, woman can also do. Another thing also is that honesty matters a lot. You can’t entrust your business to someone who is not honest at all, so be careful in choosing your manager to be.

Neither of them, I trust bisexual or transgender.

Yep, especially @OP is asking about white collar job which is any gender can give a same contribution without any inequality. Women who can do multi-tasking are overrated, people forgot if men also need to multi-tasking too because they need to handle chit-chat from wives, partners, FWBs etc at the same time while he working.

It's different if we talk about blue collar jobs which make men are better than women.

[dansus021]

I don't know man or woman if he or she can handle the business well I don't mind personally Tho historically men have led business and government for a long time but "According to Zippia, 15% of tech CEOs are women." so the day is change I mean like really changed.

A woman can do handle business nowadays and like I have said earlier we can take the example of Lisa Su the CEO of AMD and bring AMD to its glory today.

Personally I would like other people to handle my business if I had one   it simply because running a business is not an easy task I just want to be an investor

[bakasabo]

Seriously? We're still having this conversation in this day and age? Look, the question isn't about trusting a man or a woman to handle your business; it's about trusting the right person. Gender doesn't run businesses; brains, grit, and vision do. You're hung up on whether a man's assertiveness or a woman's multitasking is the secret sauce to skyrocketing your business. Guess what? It's neither

It's about finding someone with the guts to make tough calls, the brainpower to navigate complex challenges, and the heart to lead with passion. You mention multitasking and dedication? These are human traits, not gender-specific superpowers. The real question should be: Does this person get it? Can they drive, inovate, and inspire regardess of what's between their legs?

Choosing a leader based on gender is like choosing a car based on color. Sure, it might look good, but does it have what it takes under the hood? Focus on competence, integrity, and alignment with your vision. Those are your non-negotiables. Gender? That's just an outdated checkbox that has no place in today's business equation

You will be surprised, but people (for example person I have quoted) still believe that, for example, men are better at selling screwdrivers, but women are at cosmetics. They still divide people by gender, while skill and experience is what matters in business.

I am sure that OP is either young, or dont have much of a working experience, otherwise he would not have asked that. And btw, according to his next post in this topic, women are better at managing positions in financial sector. I think he has got that thought because we rarely see a male being a bookkeeper.

Correct. Because basically men and women have the same rights and opportunities in running our business. Even though currently there are still people who think that women in the business world are often looked down upon because the majority of business people are men. So there are many big challenges that women have to face in the business world. However, for me this is not a problem, because the most important thing in recruiting employees to run our business is to look at them in terms of experience, credibility and honesty. Apart from that, when entrusting our business to men and women, they must also have soft skills or basic skills within themselves. such as his confidence when interacting with many people, the way he negotiates with many parties so that the business he manages can progress and develop. If all of this is fulfilled by men and women, then our business can grow rapidly to great success. So the point is that the gender issue is not a benchmark for trusting us in handling our business, but what we look at is the track record.

Of course it is not an easy thing to run a business and from what has happened to the world's top companies, many of which are handled by successful women, I think there is no difference in the trust given to handle business for both women and men, I think it is the same.

However, there is a difference between trust and ability, if OP asks who can be trusted then we have to look at the psychology of someone who likes to lie or not and for this matter there is currently no difference between men and women.

[BITDV]

In terms of business matters and for managerial work, I actually prefer to choose on the individual's skills, not on gender. But I understand that in some places or countries, gender conditions can affect individual performance.

In my country I prefer men for work. Why not to choose a woman? If you choose a woman, there will be a decrease in performance when her emotional unstable, pregnant, high stress levels, sometimes the decisions made by women are influenced by those closest to them/their family.

In old age women was considered as a weak humans but now there is not a single business in which there is no involvement of female so it means that female can handle the business very smoothly and in better way. I think we should not make comparison between male and female because female are also very talented and in many businesses the owners are females.

In my country I prefer men for work. Why not to choose a woman? If you choose a woman, there will be a decrease in performance when her emotional unstable, pregnant, high stress levels, sometimes the decisions made by women are influenced by those closest to them/their family.

I think in a business where there is no male partner a female can easily manage the business no matter in which condition she is. All female are passing through such stages but you will have seen that there are thousand of female who work properly and are teachers in different level of education so they don't think about the difficulties but are doing better for the prosperity if their country.

This is 2024, we shouldn't be having this kind of conversations. Who should run a business shouldn't be based on gender rather on merit, qualification, experience and other top qualities if they meet it. Gender, Age,  race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity doesn't matter if they are the right fit for the job. For example, the president of Switzerland is a female and she is doing a great job. Just as the former president of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. I can go on to name other women who are CEOs, captains of industries, business titans etc. There is no two ways about it, pick the right person for the job your business will grow. Pick the wrong person for the job because of gender and your business will suffer.

Well said, we are in the era where gender discrimination is at the minimum unlike in the past where women were not allow to be in the same gathering as men Or were there allowed to hold public offices. A lot of businesses and companies crumble when they run their business base on sentiment. The community as swept that sentiment under the carpet though it’s still happening in some organizations. Offering job should be judged base on qualifications, a man or woman can both be qualified for the position after all you are looking for the best so you should go for the most qualified candidate. A Woman even with their so called famine qualities just as the OP has mentioned can run down a business or organization if she doesn’t know what she’s doing. You can’t employ a plumber to build your home when you know quite well that’s not his field. Same implication is what I’m talking about here. If you employ an unqualified person then expect a low outcome in your business.
   Personally I wouldn’t want to discriminate any gender if I’m in the position to choose,  a woman can lead the men if she is a born leader then she will lead well. Same goes to the man as well, when it comes to business trust your instincts and the verified information you obtain before making a business decision. Never trust blindly. Trust just like in any other relationship, in business relationship it has to be earned and earning it doesn't happen overnight. It's a gradual process that takes time, there may be a lot of people looking out for themselves so while it is important to keep an open mind, you also must be willing to protect yourself and take necessary precautions before placing any trust in anyone off the bat.

Gender equality means that now there is no difference, I agree with that and even now there are many jobs that do not differentiate between men and women but the trust that must be given to handle business will be different.
Handling a business is not only a matter of ability, but there is a lot of pressure that will be put on you in handling a business, so I personally think that if you are under pressure, men tend to be able to handle it more than women.

[Ever-young]

It all depends on the individual and their ideas. Many claim that women make excellent bosses because they are more compassionate and caring, resulting in a more peaceful workplace. They may also be more focused on details and skilled at resolving issues. Furthermore, research has shown that organizations with female executives have greater returns on capital and are more unlikely to engage in illegal conduct.

Finally, keep in mind that leadership talents are not based on gender, and that each individual's abilities and knowledge are unique. other males may be terrific leaders, while other women may not. It is critical to assess each person's unique talents and abilities rather than depending on gender preconceptions

But we do live in a world on which the society is really having that kind of impression on which we would really be having that belittling women when it comes to things on which it turns out that they arent capable on doing things. This is why we would really be having these kind of discussions in regarding about women and their capacities and limitation on which it isnt really just that right on why male or man would really be that focusing too much into those things on which we know that if men can do it then women can also do it too. It might really be just that unusual but actually they are really that capable on doing things.
It is really just that we cant really be seeing them with women into those fields but actually we are living in a world on where there are men jobs based are now been getting involved with women
which does simply proves out that they are really that capable. People are really just that too judgmental.
