Every year, November 19 is celebrated as International Men’s Day to honor the achievements and contributions of men to society. On this occasion, discussions around workplace dynamics often surface, particularly regarding leadership styles. A recurring debate is: Who makes a better boss – male or female? To gain insights, we spoke to employees at NewsX, a reputed media outlet.

My male boss was synchronized and helped me with incremental progress, while my female boss avoided understanding my needs and situation.” Lavanya, a video editor, echoed this sentiment, simply stating, “Male bosses are better.
