The Broken Rung: When the Career Ladder Breaks for Women and How They Can Succeed in Spite of It is a business and workplace analysis book by Kweilin Ellingrud, Lareina Yee, and María del Mar Martínez, published by Harvard Business Review Press. It examines why women, despite strong educational attainment and early career performance, are promoted to management at lower rates than men. The book argues that the most consequential barrier is not only the glass ceiling at senior levels, but the broken rung at the first major promotion step. Using McKinsey research and workplace data, the authors explain how early promotion gaps compound over time and shape long-term leadership outcomes. The book is both diagnostic and practical: it identifies structural problems in talent systems while also offering individual and organizational strategies for improving advancement, sponsorship, and access to career-building opportunities.
