More quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
Nobody can succeed on their own.
Sheryl Sandberg
No one gets to the top, if they sit on the sidelines, or if they don't believe in themselves.
Sheryl Sandberg
What I tell everyone, and I really do for myself is, I have a long-run dream, which is I want to work on stuff that I think matters.
Sheryl Sandberg
It is the ultimate luxury to combine passion and contribution. It's also a very clear path to happiness.
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
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.
Sheryl Sandberg
Don't be afraid to ask the 'dumb' question, everyone else will be relieved you had the guts to ask!
Sheryl Sandberg
I tell people in their careers, 'Look for growth. Look for the teams that are growing quickly. Look for the companies that are doing well. Look for a place where you feel that you can have a lot of impact.'
Sheryl Sandberg
We need to talk more openly about mentorships and sponsorships. Women don't get the mentoring, and particularly the sponsors, they need to succeed as much as men.
Sheryl Sandberg
Real empathy is sometimes not insisting that it will be okay but acknowledging that it is not.
Sheryl Sandberg
If I didn't write in my journal every couple of days, I felt like I was going to burst. Later I learned the research about how important journaling can be to recovering from trauma and grief. That was definitely true for me.
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
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
The more women help one another, the more we help ourselves. Acting like a coalition truly does produce results. Any coalition of support must also include men, many of whom care about gender inequality as much as women do.
Sheryl Sandberg
Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.
Sheryl Sandberg
Being confident and believing in your own self-worth is necessary to achieving your potential.
Sheryl Sandberg
The most important thing - and I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it a hundred times - if you marry a man, marry the right one.
Sheryl Sandberg
Our aspirations are really for women to be in half the leadership roles and men to be doing half the work of parenting.
Sheryl Sandberg
We know when we use the full talents of our population we're more productive. And we know that when people really feel like they can have flexible lives, they're better employees.
Sheryl Sandberg
I know from my own experience that the path to change is best traveled when we travel together.
Sheryl Sandberg
