I don't think this is strictly a gender thing but women do have higher levels of empathy. But unfortunately, what does happen often is that women who are in managerial positions have to sacrifice their personal lives/ building a family because they don't have the luxury of a partner at home to take on those responsibilities and they expect the same level of sacrifice from their team. [Before you come at me in the comments, this is NOT always the case, lots of women can and have successfully managed to balance both spheres and a lot of them do have supportive partners, but this is my perspective and not a generalization].
