Beware the Queen Bee boss

Article here. Excerpt:

'They call it the Queen Bee Syndrome and the sting in it is that it punctures a great feminist myth.

For years the sisterhood has moaned that if only more women could smash through that glass ceiling, if only more women got the top jobs and if only we all had women bosses, our working environment would be a far warmer, caring, sharing place to be.

Now a university study finally proves that the opposite is true.

In fact, women who work for other women suffer more from both psychological and physical ailments - depression, insomnia and headaches among them - and are more likely to end up embroiled in workplace conflict.'
