The Glass Cliff: One Transman’s Leadership Odyssey with Dr. Mel Rutherford

Dr. Mel RutherfordThe “glass cliff” is a term that refers to people who get promoted to leadership roles – with a catch. Women and minorities get promoted to top roles, but only in circumstances where the organization is in dire straits or in crisis, setting them up to fail. Today’s Mind Full guest Dr. Mel Rutherford took on one of those glass cliff roles – and, against long odds, found a way to not only succeed in the position, but to thrive.
