Obama: Women make better leaders than men

Former President Barack Obama said women may be better fit for leadership positions than men, according to CNBC.

"Not to generalize but women seem to have a better capacity than men do, partly because of their socialization," Mr. Obama said during a Saturday event in Paris organized by Les Napoleons, a network of communications professionals.

Mr. Obama also said a good leader asks questions such as "How can I make the people around me better?" and "How do I build a team where everyone is pulling together to get something done?"

Mr. Obama's thoughts on female leadership come as a recent Gallup poll showed a majority of American's don't have any gender preference for their boss, marking the first opinion shift in the country since the poll began in 1963.
