Pipelines - something we read about in the surfing world which is cool. However, many times in succession planning we also consider the talent pipeline especially where diverse populations are concerned. We saw a McKinsey barrel chart that shows the pipeline of people starting at entry level management and we saw the decline of women and minority representation at the higher corporate levels? What is up with that? Which answer below is NOT a direct aspect of this dynamic?
