More quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
When you're more valuable, the people around you will do more to make it work.
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
Don't be afraid to ask the 'dumb' question, everyone else will be relieved you had the guts to ask!
Sheryl Sandberg
Trying to do it all and expecting that it all can be done exactly right is a recipe for disappointment. Perfection is the enemy.
Sheryl Sandberg
Don't let your fears overwhelm your desire. Let the barriers you face-and there will be barriers-be external, not internal. Fortune does favor the bold, and I promise that you will never know what you're capable of unless you try.
Sheryl Sandberg
It's more pressure on women to - if they marry or partner with someone, to partner with the right person. Because you cannot have a full career and a full life at home with your children if you are also doing all of the housework and child care.
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
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
Speak up. Believe in yourself. Take risks.
Sheryl Sandberg
I want my daughter to have the choice not just to succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.
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
The most important thing is to have a more open and honest dialogue about gender issues.
Sheryl Sandberg
In fact, my New Year's resolution every year, and I'm Jewish so I get two New Years a year, is to meditate, and I fail every time.
Sheryl Sandberg
Let's have an honest conversation about what's going on. A man and a man at a bar looks like mentoring. A man and a woman at a bar looks like dating.
Sheryl Sandberg
There is no such thing as work-life balance. There is work, there is life, and there is no balance.
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
Nobody can succeed on their own.
Sheryl Sandberg
We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.
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 think now is our time. My mother was told by everyone that she had two choices: She could be a nurse or a teacher. The external barriers now are just so much lower. If we start acknowledging what the real issues are, we can solve them. It's not that hard.
Sheryl Sandberg
