Breaking The Rainbow Ceiling
A compelling look at the challenges facing LGBTQ+ professionals as they navigate their careers – with advice from many senior figures who have smashed their own rainbow ceilings.
Disproportionately few LGBTQ+ people occupy positions of power in Fortune 500 companies. For example, only 0.8% of Fortune 500 board positions are filled by LGBTQ+ people. This disparity occurs across almost all sectors around the world, so what can be done to reduce or eliminate this gap? This book explores the hidden causes underlying these deficits and engagingly mixes data with insights from over 40 LGBTQ+ leaders, from CEOs to ambassadors to uncover the challenges that LGBTQ+ people face in the workplace. McCay ultimately reveals the hidden barriers which can hinder v people in the workplace and how everyone can contribute to addressing and removing these barriers.
