It's more pressure on women to - if they marry or partner with someone, to partner with the right person. Because you cannot have a full career and a full life at home with your children if you are also doing all of the housework and child care.

Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence. (Harvard Business School definition of leadership)
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
The best way to make room for both life and career is to make choices deliberately-to set limits and stick to them.
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
Speak up. Believe in yourself. Take risks.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
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.

The things that hold women back, hold them back from sitting at the boardroom table and they hold women back from speaking at the PTA meeting.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with, all these fabulous women, 'Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.' I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it's not that simple.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
What works for men does not always work for women, because success and likability are positively correlated for men and negatively correlated for women. That's what the research shows. As a man gets more successful, everyone is rooting for him. As a woman gets more successful, both men and women like her less.

No one gets to the top, if they sit on the sidelines, or if they don't believe in themselves.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
We have a problem with women in leadership across the board. This leadership gap - this problem of not enough women in leadership - is running really deep and it's in every industry. My answer is we have to understand the stereotype assumptions that hold women back.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Fear is at the root of so many of the barriers that women face. Fear of not being liked. Fear of making the wrong choice. Fear of drawing negative attention. Fear of overreaching. Fear of being judged. Fear of failure. And the holy trinity of fear: the fear of being a bad mother/wife/daughter.
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
When we get feedback on women, we ask, Is that real or is that the gender bias at play? Everyone could start doing that today and I think we'd see really big results.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
But the upside of painful knowledge is so much greater than the downside of blissful ignorance.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Without fear, women can pursue professional success and personal fulfillment-and freely choose one, or the other, or both.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
I don't hold myself out as a role model. I don't believe that everyone should make the same choices that everyone has to want to be a CEO, or everyone should want to be a work-at-home mother. I want everyone to be able to choose. But I want us to be able to choose unencumbered by gender choosing for us.

The most important thing - and I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it a hundred times - if you marry a man, marry the right one.

Grief affects job performance, so giving workers time off to grieve can lead to stronger outcomes at work.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Every job will demand some sacrifice. The key is to avoid unnecessary sacrifice.

The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home.
