You’ve heard of the glass ceiling, but are you familiar with the glass cliff?
The glass cliff is when a woman of color enters a precarious leadership position during an organizational crisis or general decline.
This phenomenon results in disproportionate blame and criticism, higher rates of failure, and damage to their professional reputation.
In this chat, Dr. Mary Hemphill will elaborate on how addressing and understanding the glass cliff phenomenon is a critical part of the work to combat racism and sexism in the workplace. Organizations can work to create more equitable opportunities for women of color in leadership roles by understanding the impact of the glass cliff.
In this chat, we’ll dive deeper into:
- Challenges women of color face navigating the modern workplace.
- How to recognize the symptoms associated with burnout, toxic workplace culture, and unconscious bias.
- Strategies to help empower, educate, and elevate awareness around women of color on the glass cliff.
