Before starting the discussion I would like to explain the word what actually manager means. A manager is a person who manage every thing, take care the organisational profit, set up a link between his or her employee for further progress of company or organisation. So the definition reflect the post or the designation is not depend upon gender or sexuality.

A Person having a good responsibility, personality, ethics, capability of understanding the fact, leadership quality and communication skill can groom himself or herself for the post of the manager.

In Indian economical market there is a plenty no. of example where the managerial post are hold by men and woman simultaneously. Chanda Kochhar is the MD of ICICI bank, Arundhuti Bhattacharya plays a top role in SBI BANK, KIRAN MAZUMDER-SHAW is the MD of Biocon Limited.

On the other we can name Kumar Mangalam Birla, Harse Neotia, Mukesh Ambani as a good manger. So my point is that a deserving person should hold the right position beyond of any sort of sexual reservation.

Yes, women make good managers. We can see the live example at our homes where our mom manages everything so nicely and works from morning to night. There are some working women who work at home and at offices also and manages both places nicely. So women can manage in better way as compared to men.

Hai friends, l think women can be a better manager than men. But they society does not give them a chance for their management. Most of the women manage their houses very well from this we can understand that they can manage everything like that. Women are like matchbox we should ignite them, then they will create a large fire. Than you.

Yes, I agree with you that women would be a good manager as they have good patience and listening skills, and we know that many of women work at home and in the office too, which make them multitask. In my opinion, it does not depend on gender it mainly depends. Upon the way you handle the situation, patience, tolerance, creativity and knowledge.

If you want to do a job, the. Companies hire you on your capability, not the female or male, are you? A woman is a doctor, teacher, nurse, maid, protector and supporter and many more qualities a woman is having. She is manage her time very well. In day-to-day life if we want to go to a picnic or marriage. She is the only one who manages what to take with them so that difficulties don't occur I want to give an example of Kalpana Chawla who was the first woman who went to space '. The conclusion is that we should treat everyone equally. So that women can show their talent too. In my opinion, a Good manager is one who has the ability to manage a particular situation in an effective way. It does not depend on gender.

Thank you.

According to me, If we are talking about a good manager so the first thing is that we should understand the meaning of a good manager. A manager is a person who manages his/her work in a proper way then secondly we should go to the gender if we are talking about good manager so the manager can be male or female we should not compare male or female in any way both male and female are best in their own way both have their own capabilities so both are best and if we talk about Do women make good managers so yes women make good managers because women are multitasking they do a lot of work in a proper way, and the responsibility of being a good manager should also be given to WOMEN.

As I have gone through the above points many boys were supporting women. Well that's nice it gives positive hope and feeling of living in 21st century, thank you so much friends. Yes I do agree that a good manager does not depends upon gender and it completely depends upon different skills that are required to be the good manager. There are some work which a women can do better and some work which man can do better.

But I am not agree with friend who has given lots of examples because though it shows us a man is a good manager but this doesn't proves that a women is a bad one, it shows that you are biased.

Well there are few examples have a look my friend.

1. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw is an Indian entrepreneur. She is the Chairman & Managing Director of Biocon Limited a biotechnology company based in Bangalore (Bengaluru), India.

2. Ekta Jeetendra Kapoor (b. 7 June 1975) is an Indian TV and film producer. She is the Joint Managing Director and Creative Director of Balaji Telefilms, her production company.

3. Swati A. Piramal is the Vice Chairperson of Piramal Lifesciences Limited and Director of Piramal Healthcare Limited. Dr. Piramal received one of India's highest civilian honour, the Padma Shri award, by the President of India, Ms. Pratibha Patil on 4th April, 2012 She has been nominated as one of the 25 Most Powerful Business Women in India eight times and is now a member of the Hall of Fame of the Most Powerful Women.

4. Rajshree Pathy, is an eminent entrepreneur from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. She is the Chairperson and Managing Director of the Rajshree Group of Companies and Founder of India Design Forum.

5. Radhika Roy is an Indian media baron and co Chairperson and Managing Director, NDTV. Radhika has won the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award for Information, Communication and Entertainment in the year 2003. .

The list is endless. So don't under estimate women. Women and men both can be the good manager only because of their skills and not because of the history of managers.

YES, If we talk about do women make good managers, then surely they make. A woman has a lot of responsibilities since they become an adult they understand the situations going on in their surroundings and need to manage them accordingly. They have to keep an eye on everything whether it's about her home or her job they need to give an equal distribution of time to both. No matter what be the situation like she is sick or not feeling well, she has to continue her duties as a girl, wife or mother. They can't give excuses to get rid of the work. Women who work and also manages the home is a huge task for them. After coming from work also they have their house duties to perform. According to all of us, I think that it's not easy work for all to manage. Both men and women have their own situations to manage and nowadays there is no point of comparing the GENDER thing. All are equal in their respective places. But as far as the question arises about women. So, yes they are far more best in managing in any field they are given to and must be appreciated for tackling every situation wisely and smoothly.

If we are talking about Good managers, so we should list out the characteristics that a good manager should posses.

A good manager should be a better listener, better communicator, multi tasker, responsible, understanding.

And if we talk about all these characteristics then yes women have all these characteristics more than men to some extent.

And studies have proved that women hava a tendency of appreciating the work more frequently.

And this is something that all employees look into their manager.

Hence we can conclude that women make better managers than man do.
