The Glass Cliff is a phenomenon that describes the tendency for women to be appointed to leadership positions in challenging or risky situations, such as when a company is experiencing financial difficulties or when there is a high likelihood of failure. The term "glass cliff" was coined by researchers Michelle Ryan and Alex Haslam in 2005.
