Sheryl Sandberg has a key piece of advice for managers working to fix the broken rung on the corporate ladder for Black women
But according to Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, these plans are doomed to fall flat, or at least not have the lasting impact leaders are hoping for, if executives don't address what researchers call the "broken rung" on the corporate ladder. It's the phenomenon where women, especially Black women and women of color, get promoted much less often than white men.
For every 100 men who were promoted to management from 2018 to 2019, only 68 Latina women were promoted. That number was even lower for Black women, at 58, perby McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.org. The effect of this is clear. There are only four Fortune 500 Black CEOs in America, and all of them are men.
A whopping 59% of Black women say they have never had an informal interaction with a senior leader, compared to 47% of white women, and 40% of all men surveyed. Data source: LeanIn.Org and McKinsey & Company, Women in the Workplace 2019.
