Is your company in crisis? Make a woman CEO

If you’ve been thinking there are have been a lot of female leaders under fire lately, you might have noticed the glass cliff phenomenon; it’s when a woman is put into a position of leadership during a company crisis. Fortescue Metals chief executive Fiona Hick and the Australia Post CEO Christine Holgate have both had to resign after relatively short tenures and major issues at their companies. Now RBA boss Michelle Bullock and Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson have both just been appointed during very murky times for both organisations.

In this episode of The Briefing Antoinette Lattouf speaks with Shivani Gopal, CEO of EllaDex, about what needs to be done to change this phenomenon.
