Expert’s Advicehe glass ceiling is a barrier so subtle that it isTtransparent; yet so strong that it prevents womenfrom moving up the corporate hierarchy”---AnnMorrison, American AuthorThe term “Glass ceiling” can be defined as anunacknowledged upper limit in corporations and otherorganizations, above which it is difficult or evenimpossible for women to reach out to the highestranks.“Glass ceiling” is a popular metaphor widely usedfor the hard-to-see informal barriers that prevents womenfrom getting promoted or achieving further opportunitiesin leadership positions. The metaphor of “glass ceiling”has also been used to describe the limits and obstaclesfaced by racial minority groups.The U.S. Department of Labor’s 1991 definition of glassceiling is “those artificial barriers based on attitudinal ororganizational bias that prevents qualified individualsfrom advancing upward in their organization intomanagement-level positions.” (Report on the GlassCeiling Initiative.)Famous American actress cum author Ann Morrisondefines the concept of the Glass Ceiling as:“The glass ceiling is not simply a barrier for anindividual, based on the person’s inability to handle ahigher-level job. Rather, the glass ceiling applies towomen as a group who are kept from advancing higherbecause they are women.”The Elements behind the Glass Ceiling:It is pretty obvious that women are facing a lot of hurdlesto break through the glass ceiling and reach to thehighest leadership position throughout the ages.Preventing both women and organizations from reachingtheir full potential, the invisible “Glass Ceiling” deniesus all of the maximal benefits of gender diversity inleadership.
