- Wikipedia, Dec. 21, 2007(Glass cliff; a term coined by Dr Michelle Ryan and Prof Alex Haslam of Exeter University, in 2004; their research demonstrates that once women break through the glass ceiling and take on positions of leadership they often have experiences that are different from their male counterparts; women are more likely to occupy positions that can be described as precarious and thus have a higher risk of failure; extending the metaphor of the glass ceiling, they evoke the metaphor of the glass cliff to capture the subtlety to the phenomenon and feeling of teetering on the edge)
Wikipedia description:
The glass cliff is a phenomenon described by psychologists Michelle K. Ryan and Alexander Haslam, in which women are more likely to break the "glass ceiling" (i.e. achieve leadership roles in business and government) during periods of crisis or downturn when the risk of failure is highest. Other research has expanded the definition of the glass cliff phenomenon to include racial and ethnic minority groups.
