Success for me is that if my son chooses to be a stay-at-home parent, he is cheered on for that decision. And if my daughter chooses to work outside the home and is successful, she is cheered on and supported.

More quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
Endless data show that diverse teams make better decisions. We are building products that people with very diverse backgrounds use, and I think we all want our company makeup to reflect the makeup of the people who use our products. That's not true of any industry really, and we have a long way to go.
Sheryl Sandberg
It's pretty exciting to take real people living in the real world, their opinions, and have people have to react to that. As opposed to their perceptions of what people are thinking, which are often very different.
Sheryl Sandberg
The most important career decision you'll make is who your life partner is.
Sheryl Sandberg
Until women are as ambitious as men, they're not gong to achieve as much as men.
Sheryl Sandberg
Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.
Sheryl Sandberg
Real empathy is sometimes not insisting that it will be okay but acknowledging that it is not.
Sheryl Sandberg
There is no perfect fit when you're looking for the next big thing to do. You have to take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way around. The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.
Sheryl Sandberg
Let's acknowledge that men reach for opportunities more quickly and more easily than women. So often as managers, we give the job to whoever starts solving the problem, to whoever jumps in. Since we know men will jump in faster than women in so many circumstances, we have to slow down and encourage more women to sit at more tables.
Sheryl Sandberg
There is no such thing as work-life balance. There is work, there is life, and there is no balance.
Sheryl Sandberg
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.
Sheryl Sandberg
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
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
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
We've got to get women to sit at the table.
Sheryl Sandberg
Aggressive and hard-charging women violate unwritten rules about acceptable social conduct. Men are continually applauded for being ambitious and powerful and successful, but women who display these same traits often pay a social penalty. Female accomplishments come at a cost.
Sheryl Sandberg
Social media has created a historical shift from the historically powerful to the historically powerless. Now everyone has a voice.
Sheryl Sandberg
There's a lot that needs to be fixed in dating for men and women in the U.S. - there's a lot of pressure on women to do things they may not want to do. And if you start out unequal, you are not going to end up with equality.
Sheryl Sandberg
Real change will come when powerful women are less of an exception. It is easy to dislike senior women because there are so few.
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
As a country and as a world, we are not comfortable with women in leadership roles. We call little girls bossy.
