Reading Washington Post reporter Liza Mundy's book, The Richer Sex: How the New Majority of Female Breadwinners Is Transforming Sex, Love and Family, out this March, was a genuine shock. Based on 2009 Bureau of Labor Statistics figures hot off the press (a government economist slipped Mundy the stats before they were published, in fact), "almost 40 percent of U.S. working wives now out-earn their husbands." While that's not the majority-grandiose subtitles definitely are the norm-it's darn close to it. (For the record, my guess was 25 percent, the figure in the early '90s.)

THE FUTURE IS FEMININE: SURVEY TELLS MEN: BE MORE LIKE WOMEN AT WORK

One of the hottest issues in the workplace is what makes a good boss. Throw in the question of gender and everyone has an opinion, an experience or a horror story. Are men better leaders? Which sex can you trust more? Can women make decisions? Who do you prefer to work for?

Research released today by Management Today magazine finds that after years of having to adopt a masculine identity and hide their emotions and natural behaviour in the workplace, women are the new role models. If men want to be successful at work they must behave more like women. Overall the 1000 men and women surveyed believe that women managers are better with customers, more efficient, more trustworthy, and more generous and understanding with colleagues than their male counterparts.
