No one gets to the top, if they sit on the sidelines, or if they don't believe in themselves.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Two things that I think matter are gratitude and joy.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
The reason I don't have a plan is because if I have a plan I'm limited to today's options.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Grief affects job performance, so giving workers time off to grieve can lead to stronger outcomes at work.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Build your skills, not your resume.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
No industry or country can reach its full potential until women reach their full potential. This is especially true of science and technology, where women with a surplus of talent still face a deficit of opportunity.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence. (Harvard Business School definition of leadership)
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
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
Image
But the upside of painful knowledge is so much greater than the downside of blissful ignorance.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
But I really believe that when you give people authentic identity, which is what Facebook does, and you can be your real self and connect with real people online, things will change.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
We [Facebook] really believe in enabling people to be their authentic selves on the web, and enabling people to communicate directly with each other in a very personal way.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
The social web can't exist until you are your real self online. I have to be me. You have to be you. Once we are online as ourselves, connected to each other and our other friends, then you can have the evolution of what becomes the social web.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
I just believed. I believed that the technology would change people's lives. I believed putting real identity online - putting technology behind real identity - was the missing link.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
When I was in high school, I was voted most likely to succeed.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with, all these fabulous women, 'Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.' I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it's not that simple.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
I'm excited that more people, especially men, are understanding that equality is good for them. I don't want men to want equality for women because they're being nice to their colleagues and daughters. I want men to want it because it's better for their companies and their lives.

Our aspirations are really for women to be in half the leadership roles and men to be doing half the work of parenting.
