The Glass Cliff

In this episode of the 'SheWolfAlchemy' podcast, hosts Ress and Ashley delve into the concept of the 'glass cliff', a situation where women, often in corporate America, are promoted to leadership positions during times of crisis with little chance of success. Using personal anecdotes and broader societal examples, they discuss how this sets women up for failure, reflecting on their own experiences with difficult leadership roles and the pressures they entail. Additionally, they touch upon the lack of infrastructure and support in these positions, the challenges of navigating corporate culture as women, and the broader implications of being set up to fail. This candid conversation sheds light on the subtle ways gender discrimination manifests in the workforce and the personal and professional ramifications of these glass cliff scenarios.
