McKinsey Removes Partner from Leadership Role Over LinkedIn Comments on Women Executives
McKinsey & Company removed senior partner Chris Bradley from his leadership roles at the McKinsey Global Institute after he posted LinkedIn comments questioning the 'glass cliff' phenomenon, which suggests women executives are more likely to be appointed to leadership during company crises. Bradley's remarks, which he later deleted, were deemed below the firm's standards. He remains a senior partner, and McKinsey reaffirmed its commitment to addressing challenges faced by women in the workplace.
