Her working style is more flexible, understanding, willing to give power to others and seek consensus, and more team-oriented.
Studies suggest that men are typically hierarchical, goal-oriented and feel entitled. Women, by contrast, manage diplomatically and share power.

With a more progressive approach to diversity and a greater number of women being the leader of organizations, women today feel comfortable enough to use their natural management style at work. Their management style tends to be more communicative and relationship-oriented.
One example of their management style is being more communicative. Women usually have greater verbal ability and verbal comprehension than men. Their speaking skill is actually innate – born with it. Since they are usually more supportive, more inclined to delegate responsibilities and more willing to foster the careers of their employees than their male counterparts, they communicate more efficiently. As a result, employees are happy to share ideas with their female boss and feel excited to have their voice heard in making decisions.
Another example of women's natural management style is being more relationship-oriented. As we well understand, women are more emotionally and spiritually intelligent. This gives them the potential to be a more understanding boss than men. They know how to motivate their employees with human touches such as "get well" cards and "thank you" notes. They also know when to make concessions and accommodate their employees' personal needs because they are not as rigid and stubborn as male bosses. Employees, of course, enjoy such a relationship with their female boss. In brief, women's natural management style helps them succeed in their workplace. The fact that women are brought up to have verbal skills and emotional intelligence is a huge advantage. It's their strength and they need to use it more instead of disguising themselves.
