When I googled “mother hen”, one of the definitions was “….a person who cares for the needs of others – especially in an overprotective or interfering way.” As others have said, there needs to be a conversation between the boss and Sandra to discuss what his challenge is with her method of leadership. Since she calls it “cricism” from him, I am assuming he does not approve of the way she is leading. I would say that definitely is going to hurt her career if it is not resolved. But start with a conversation……

The phrase almost reminds me of what Love & Logic Parenting calls a “Helicopter Parent”. The kind that hovers around their kids, waving their arms and generally getting over-involved. Think, “overparenting.”

The biggest question I’d have for her supervisor is, “Exactly what do you mean by ‘Mother hen’?” His definition might be telling. It might also not be what any of us think.

Girl!!! You’re doing a great job!!! There is RARELY a reason to be “in their faces”! And if you’re voted 3rd highest, you must obviously be doing something right.

I think the leader should have explained–it’s his responsibility. But since he didn’t, it’s an opportunity for her to “be the better person” by seeking resolution.
