Social media has created a historical shift from the historically powerful to the historically powerless. Now everyone has a voice.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
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
Leaders should strive for authenticity over perfection.
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.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
We can each define ambition and progress for ourselves. The goal is to work toward a world where expectations are not set by the stereotypes that hold us back, but by our personal passion, talents and interests.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Grief affects job performance, so giving workers time off to grieve can lead to stronger outcomes at work.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
I have never worked for a woman, and I have never worked with a lot of women.
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.

Two things that I think matter are gratitude and joy.
Sheryl Sandberg

It is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution. It's also a very clear path to happiness.
Sheryl Sandberg

Until women are as ambitious as men, they're not gong to achieve as much as men.
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
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.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Speak up. Believe in yourself. Take risks.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
I'm not writing about things other women do. I'm writing for other women to have more self-confidence because I need it myself! And if more women were in power, I would feel more comfortable.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
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.

Talking can transform minds, which can transform behaviors, which can transform institutions.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Don't be afraid to ask the 'dumb' question, everyone else will be relieved you had the guts to ask!
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.
