Who’s better at engaging their employees—men or women? Does gender make a difference in manager effectiveness? A new Gallup study of American workers found that employees with female managers are more engaged than those with male managers. The study also showed that female managers themselves have higher levels of engagement than their male counterparts. And because managers are responsible for at least 70% of their employees’ engagement, it stands to reason that the higher engagement of female managers leads to higher-performing, more engaged teams. If companies increase their number of talented managers and double the rate of engaged employees, Gallup estimates they can achieve an average of 147% higher earnings per share than their competition.
