More quotes by 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
I probably shouldn't admit this since I work in the tech industry, but I still prefer reading paper books.
Sheryl Sandberg
Social media has created a historical shift from the historically powerful to the historically powerless. Now everyone has a voice.
Sheryl Sandberg
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.
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
Success and likeability are positively correlated for men and negatively for women. When a man is successful, he is liked by both men and women. When a woman is successful, people of both genders like her less.
Sheryl Sandberg
The most important career decision you'll make is who your life partner is.
Sheryl Sandberg
Fortune does favor the bold and you'll never know what you're capable of if you don't try.
Sheryl Sandberg
We know that the only way to achieve equality is if both men and women want to achieve equality. We also know that equality is not just the right thing to do for men, it is a good thing to do.
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
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.
Sheryl Sandberg
We hold ourselves back in ways both big and small, by lacking self-confidence, by not raising our hands, and by pulling back when we should be leaning in.
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
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
We need to stop telling [women], Get a mentor and you will excel. Instead, we need to tell them, Excel and you will get a mentor.
Sheryl Sandberg
Your life's course will not be determined by doing the things that you are certain you can do. Those are the easy things. It will be determined by whether you try the things that are hard.
Sheryl Sandberg
I wish I were strong enough to ignore what others say, but experience tells me I often can't. Allowing myself to feel upset, even really upset, and then move on - that's something I can do.
Sheryl Sandberg
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
And anyway, who wears a tiara on a jungle gym?
Sheryl Sandberg
I want my daughter to have the choice not just to succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.
Sheryl Sandberg
