Pay attention to the role change when dealing with female bosses.

If a man is taken care of by his wife at home, others will laugh. However, in today's companies, female bosses lead male subordinates everywhere, and the gender structure of the organization has undergone tremendous changes. In this organizational structure, many male subordinates are often confused when dealing with female bosses.

Xiao Zhang is the department manager of a company, and his boss is a capable and beautiful woman in her thirties. At work and outside of work, Xiao Zhang is the right-hand man of the female boss and helps her solve many problems. But on some small issues, female bosses often insist on their own opinions. Xiao Zhang thinks that he is making a mountain out of a molehill, "long hair and short knowledge", making trouble without reason, and is often confused by the completely different attitude of the female boss. In fact, Xiao Zhang's psychological confusion is common. The fundamental reason is that Xiao Zhang did not change roles in time when dealing with the female boss, which caused some common embarrassment.

First, the big man is embarrassed. The psychological tendency of many men is that in the relationship between men and women, men are always right and women should be attached to men. But in the organizational relationship of "women are superior to men", the boss is always right, but it is the boss's basic psychological tendency that subordinates obey their superiors. Therefore, male subordinates should clearly realize that the relationship between men and women in daily life is different from that in work, and they should change their roles according to different situations.

Second, professional gender embarrassment. As a male subordinate, there is always a stronger sense of shame when criticized by a female boss. Many male subordinates can't stand this criticism, so they use Ah Q's spiritual victory method-scolding women for "long hair and short knowledge" to save a little dignity for themselves. In fact, being criticized by a female boss and being criticized by a male boss are both criticized by the boss, and there is no essential difference. The key is that male subordinates should be clear about their roles as subordinates.

Third, the leadership style is embarrassing. Women value love, men value power. Many female bosses like to lead their male subordinates with the style of asking for help, while male subordinates often unconsciously fall into the friendship of "saving the United States by heroes" and use friendship to deal with their working relationships. When encountering key problems, the female boss insists on his own opinions, and the male subordinates who are "friends" will be confused. Male subordinates should know that friendship is outside of work, but at work, your relationship is superior and subordinate.

Therefore, as a male subordinate, we should keep a clear head about our role. If you can adjust your role in time and adopt different ways in different occasions and situations, you can avoid all kinds of embarrassment with your female boss.
