More quotes by 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.
Sheryl Sandberg
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
Women have made tons of progress. But we still have a small percentage of the top jobs in any industry, in any nation in the world. I think that's partly because from a very young age, we encourage our boys to lead and we call our girls bossy.
Sheryl Sandberg
I have never worked for a woman, and I have never worked with a lot of women.
Sheryl Sandberg
The most important thing is to have a more open and honest dialogue about gender issues.
Sheryl Sandberg
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
Grief affects job performance, so giving workers time off to grieve can lead to stronger outcomes at work.
Sheryl Sandberg
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
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
It is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution. It's also a very clear path to happiness.
Sheryl Sandberg
I probably shouldn't admit this since I work in the tech industry, but I still prefer reading paper books.
Sheryl Sandberg
Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.
Sheryl Sandberg
When the man is traveling with a man, he says, Let's stay up late and work on this and get this to be better. When the man's traveling with the woman, for the sake of appearances he doesn't do the work with her. That's a lost opportunity for her to be a success.
Sheryl Sandberg
We need to start talking about child-rearing in the workplace.
Sheryl Sandberg
And anyway, who wears a tiara on a jungle gym?
Sheryl Sandberg
I have a five year-old son and a three year-old daughter. I want my son to have a choice to contribute fully in the workforce or at home. And I want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.
Sheryl Sandberg
No one gets to the top, if they sit on the sidelines, or if they don't believe in themselves.
Sheryl Sandberg
I want women to get paid more. I want to teach them to negotiate so they get paid more.
Sheryl Sandberg
Women are not making it to the top. A hundred and ninety heads of state nine are women. Of all the people in parliament in the world, thirteen per cent are women. In the corporate sector, women at the top - C-level jobs, board seats - tops out at fifteen, sixteen per cent.
Sheryl Sandberg
Let's have an honest conversation about what's going on. A man and a man at a bar looks like mentoring. A man and a woman at a bar looks like dating.
Sheryl Sandberg
