It's easy to dislike the few senior women out there. What if women were half the positions in power? It would be harder to dislike all of them.

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.

Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.
Sheryl Sandberg

Women don't take enough risks. Men are just 'foot on the gas pedal.' We're not going to close the achievement gap until we close the ambition gap.
Sheryl Sandberg

The most important thing we're doing differently is that we talk openly about gender at Facebook.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
A woman, if you're Most Intelligent or Most Likely to Succeed, that's an embarrassing thing. Or something that's not considered attractive, and I think that's what we need to change.
Sheryl Sandberg

The most important thing is to have a more open and honest dialogue about gender issues.
