DESCRIPTION:Research into the glass cliff examines what happens when women
  begin to take on leadership roles in increasing numbers. Extending the me
 taphor of the glass ceiling\, 'the glass cliff' describes an leadership ph
 enomenon whereby women are more likely to be found in leadership positions
  that are associated with a greater risk of failure and criticism. This ta
 lk will describe a decades worth of research which has uncovered the pheno
 menon of the glass cliff looking at archival research into company perform
 ance\, experimental laboratory studies\, and interviews with female leader
 s. We will also examine some of the underlying psychological processes: st
 ereotypes\, support networks\, and organisational strategy. Implications f
 or gender equality initiatives and for women who are aiming for leadership
  roles will be discussed.
