And what I saw happening is that women don't make one decision to leave the workforce. They makes lots of little decisions really far in advance that kind of inevitably lead them there.

I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Framing the issue of work-life balance - as if the two were dramatically opposed - practically ensures work will lose out. Who would ever choose work over life?
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Most people assume that women are responsible for households and child care. Most couples operate that way - not all. That fundamental assumption holds women back.

Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.
Sheryl Sandberg

For any of us in this room today, let's start out by admitting we're lucky. We don't live in the world our mothers lived in, our grandmothers lived in, where career choices for women were so limited.

Every woman I know, particularly the senior ones, has been called too aggressive at work. We know in gender blind studies that men are more aggressive in their offices than women. We know that. Yet we're busy telling all the women that they're too aggressive. That's the issue.

We know that the only way to achieve equality is if both men and women want to achieve equality. We also know that equality is not just the right thing to do for men, it is a good thing to do.

When you're more valuable, the people around you will do more to make it work.

But the upside of painful knowledge is so much greater than the downside of blissful ignorance.

There is no such thing as work-life balance. There is work, there is life, and there is no balance.

People assume Wall Street is a certain culture and tech is a certain culture. But if you look at the (gender) numbers at the top of (those) industries, they don't vary very much. I think in finance, women hold 19 percent of the top jobs, and women are 21 percent of the leaders in nonprofits.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Success and likeability are positively correlated for men and negatively for women. When a man is successful, he is liked by both men and women. When a woman is successful, people of both genders like her less.
Sheryl Sandberg

No one gets to the top, if they sit on the sidelines, or if they don't believe in themselves.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
My hope in writing 'Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead' was to change the conversation from what women can't do to what we can.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
The reason I don't have a plan is because if I have a plan I'm limited to today's options.
Sheryl Sandberg

If you do please everyone, you are not making enough progress.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
As a man gets more successful, powerful, he is more liked, and as a woman gets more successful, she is less liked, and that's true by both women and men.
Sheryl Sandberg

Leaders should strive for authenticity over perfection.
Sheryl Sandberg

There are really good reasons to leave the workforce or work less or take a different job when you want to be with your children. I just want women - and men - to make that choice once they have the child. Not years in advance, because... they don't get the right opportunities. They give up before they even start.

I know from my own experience that the path to change is best traveled when we travel together.
