If you ask men why they did a good job, they'll say, 'I'm awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking?' If you ask women why they did a good job, what they'll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard.

If you do please everyone, you are not making enough progress.
Sheryl Sandberg

Presenting leadership as a list of carefully defined qualities (like strategic, analytical, and performance-ori ented) no longer holds. Instead, true leadership stems from individuality that is honestly and sometimes imperfectly expressed.... Leaders should strive for authenticity over perfection.
Sheryl Sandberg

But I really believe that when you give people authentic identity, which is what Facebook does, and you can be your real self and connect with real people online, things will change.

If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat! Just get on.

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.

A lot of people will say, what's Facebook's business model? I always find that a kind of funny question. Our business model is out there, which is: we monetize largely through advertising and a little bit through the gift revenue, the virtual gifts we have on our site. I think those continue to be the most promising avenues going forward.

The most important thing we're doing differently is that we talk openly about gender at Facebook.

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

The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
We've ceased making progress at the top in any industry anywhere in the world . In the United States, women have had 14% of the top corporate jobs and 17% of the board seats for 10 years. Ten years of no progress.

Give us a world where half our homes are run by men and half our institutions are run by women. I'm pretty sure that would be a better world.
Sheryl Sandberg

We know when we use the full talents of our population we're more productive. And we know that when people really feel like they can have flexible lives, they're better employees.

Social media has created a historical shift from the historically powerful to the historically powerless. Now everyone has a voice.

Talking can transform minds, which can transform behaviors, which can transform institutions.
