The glass cliff is not new. And yes, it is a very real and dangerous precipice for women leaders around the world in every industry.

The McKinsey Global Institute director who has been at the firm 27 years was removed from that role—but kept his partner position—after posting on LinkedIn that the glass cliff is not real. It is “a very convenient way to always be a victim in the rain,” he posted, according to Financial Review.
