McKinsey removes an Australian partner, Chris Bradley, from a leadership role after reviewing his posts on LinkedIn. Multiple outlets report that the review focuses on his commentary about challenges for women at work.
Bradley’s posts address the “glass cliff” phenomenon, describing situations where women are more likely to be placed into senior roles at companies facing difficulties. One account says he characterises such ideas in disparaging terms, while other coverage frames the decision as linked to comments about workplace barriers such as the “glass ceiling.”
Several outlets say McKinsey conducts an internal review prompted by Bradley’s LinkedIn interaction with an author connected to a new book. The differing reports emphasise either the specific content of his remarks or the process behind the review, but all describe McKinsey’s decision to strip him of a leadership position following scrutiny of his online posts.
