Glass Ceiling in Management

Women and minorities often face what is called a glass ceiling. Why would some individuals hinder or block the advancement of people up the management ladder? Have you ever encountered or observed the glass ceiling?

One of the key factors in limiting advancement of women and minorities often comes down to individuals being uncomfortable with change.
