What happens when your boss becomes a parent? Does it make him/her more compassionate? More respectful of your personal space? More lovable? Or does it mean you’ll be dumped with more work and even less direction? 

Personally, I think much too much has been made about how parenthood—mainly motherhood—affects management style. I know it’s popular to talk about how moms make better CEOs, Supreme Court justices, and masters of the universe. Frankly, I’m skeptical of the theory.
