The ‘Glass Cliff’ is the very real act of promoting women and BIPOC payment leaders to higher positions during times of crisis, when the chance of failure is higher. And if they fail, they fall. Protecting them from the glass cliff requires an understanding of the phenomenon, who it affects, how to navigate organizational politics around it, and what warning signs to look out for.
