More quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
Until women are as ambitious as men, they're not gong to achieve as much as men.
Sheryl Sandberg
And what I saw happening is that women don't make one decision to leave the workforce. They makes lots of little decisions really far in advance that kind of inevitably lead them there.
Sheryl Sandberg
Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.
Sheryl Sandberg
I want women to get paid more. I want to teach them to negotiate so they get paid more.
Sheryl Sandberg
I had heard that when people lost people, there was anger. But I definitely experienced it a lot more than I was prepared for it. Anger was not something I'd ever really felt in my life and I was not prepared for it.
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
We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.
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
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
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
You know, there has never been a 24-hour period in five years when I have not responded to e-mail at Facebook. I am not saying it's easy. I work long hours.
Sheryl Sandberg
As a man gets more successful, powerful, he is more liked, and as a woman gets more successful, she is less liked, and that's true by both women and men.
Sheryl Sandberg
When I was in high school, I was voted most likely to succeed.
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
Most people assume that women are responsible for households and child care. Most couples operate that way - not all. That fundamental assumption holds women back.
Sheryl Sandberg
Without fear, women can pursue professional success and personal fulfillment-and freely choose one, or the other, or both.
Sheryl Sandberg
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
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
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
We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.
Sheryl Sandberg
