We've all heard the term "glass ceiling," the barrier that keeps women and minorities out of leadership and the board room, but are you familiar with the "glass cliff?" The glass cliff is a research-backed occurrence describing when a person from an underrepresented background is promoted to a senior leadership position during a difficult time, when the risk of failure is high.
Join for a powerful discussion with Keith D. Dorsey, EdD, Managing Partner at Boyden. Keith will review the psychology behind this phenomenon. He will discuss what these individuals and organizations can do to mitigate risk and improve their chances of successfully landing off the glass cliff by doing thorough due diligence.
