Talk:Glass cliff

Edit Request
For a Psychology writing course, a classmate and I rewrote the Implications section. We want to add subsections specifying the implications for women in the glass cliff position and implications for the organizations in which they are working. We also wish to add to the Explanation section, providing further details of the 2007 study referenced in the last paragraph of the section.Elijah Cohen (talk) 19:25, 22 February 2015 (UTC)Eli Cohen
 * Hi Elijah. You do not need to request permission to make an edit to an article. Wiki-standards are such that any editor can be bold and attempt an improvement. If you are able to improve the article, and adhere to the relevant guidelines (e.g. use reliable sources, include only notable content, avoid original research), then by all means go ahead and do so. I would only add a word of caution against making large scale changes to the article in one foul swoop. Smaller scale and incremental edits will make it easier for other editors to collaborate with you (e.g. if a revert is required then it helps prevent throwing the baby out with the bathwater).
 * When you say that you rewrote the Implications section, Are you looking for feedback? If so you should make available a draft on your user sandbox and use the talk page here to solicit that feedback. Does that make sense? Don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions.

Examples
>>> In 1999 as the tech bubble was bursting, Hewlett-Packard appointed Carly Fiorina CEO, and then ousted her in 2005. She was appointed in July 1999. The Tech bubble burst in 2001 with a climax in March 2000. I really don't see how this is an example. The Compaq merger that was somewhat failed was her idea and that was in 2002. I also want to note that the citation linked doesn't mention her at all. Seems like a random link about Jill Abramson. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomji (talk • contribs) 05:27, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Moved this here

 * ''== Researchers ==


 * ''Michelle Ryan is Professor of Social and Organizational Psychology in the College of Life Sciences at the University of Exeter.


 * Alex Haslam is Professor of Psychology and Australian Laureate Fellow at the University of Queensland and former editor of the European Journal of Social Psychology''.


 * In 2005 Ryan and Haslam's research into the glass cliff was shortlisted for the Times Higher Education`s Research Project of the Year. It also featured in New York Times'' Magazine's Top 100 Ideas of 2008. Their research into the glass cliff has been funded by the Leverhulme Trust, the European Social Fund, and the Economic and Social Research Council.

I removed this from the article. It reads like promotional material.

Proof of relation to gender?
What if the glass cliff is unrelated to gender? If a company needs someone expendable then it will find it. If you show 1 thousand occasions where they choose a woman to take the risk, it proves nothing. It may easily be the case that in the same period of time 10 thousand men were selected because of the same reasons. The whole article ignores that this needs to be addressed.

And also, where is the usual "Criticism" section? Notinlist (talk) 14:38, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Criticism section
This whole theory seems to be an agglomeration of anectodal and/or cherry-picked evidence. Definitely needs a criticism section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrimas1 (talk • contribs) 09:07, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Wiki Education assignment: Gender and Politics in Global Perspective
— Assignment last updated by A.lejla (talk) 19:20, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Concept: Glass Cliff
Though commonly applied in various fashions to more specific discriminatory practices, the concept of a 'Glass Cliff' itself has very little to do with any particular gender or race.

In essence, it is any situation, regardless of race or gender, whether political or economic or sociological in nature, where a subject is placed into a position, for whatever term of several consequence, with the formal intention to sabotage or to specifically direct the highest likelihood of failure towards blame of a particular individual or group.
