Thirty years after women became 50 percent of the college graduates in the United States, men still hold the vast majority of leadership positions in government and industry. This means that women’s voices are still not heard equally in the decisions that most affect our lives. In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg examines why women’s progress in achieving leadership roles has stalled, explains the root causes, and offers compelling, commonsense solutions that can empower women to achieve their
full
potential. Sandberg is the chief operating officer of Facebook and is ranked on Fortune’s list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World. In 2010, she gave an electrifying TEDTalk in which she described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which became a phenomenon and has been viewed more than two million times, encouraged women to “sit at the table,” seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto. In Lean In, Sandberg digs deeper into these issues, combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to cut through the layers of ambiguity and bias surrounding the lives and choices of working women. She recounts her own decisions, mistakes, and daily struggles to make the right
choices for herself, her career, and her family. She provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career, urging women to set boundaries and to abandon the myth of “having it all.”
She
describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women in the workplace and at home. Written with both humor and wisdom, Sandberg’s book is an inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual growth. Lean In is destined to change the conversation from what women can’t do to what they can..
Reviews Much more than a "How I did it" book - not that there's anything wrong with that - but "Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead" is so much more than that. Sheryl Sandberg has been criticized for being a gazillionaire and thus (the argument goes) that the ideas she writes about are "easy for her." After reading this book, you'll see that this assumption could not be further from the truth. I'm a firm believer in the concept of KWW - Keep Women Working - and it makes me angry when I hear of women friends and colleagues who "opt out" of the workforce or throw in the towel on their high-powered careers because it's "too much" or they simply choose not to return to the corporate grind after maternity leave or some other life event that has given them a taste of "real life." Well, Sheryl's book clearly shows you how opting out is NOT part of "real life" and how opting IN - way in - is the better option. A great book for young women about to embark on their professional (ad)ventures as well as women at every stage of their career - the personal stories, research, advice, insights and recommendations in this wise book will
keep you leaning in, opting in and standing out in both your professional AND personal life..
================================================== I am woman. Hear me roar. ROWR! That is what the subtitle of this femtastic book of back-arching awesomeness should be! In Lean In, genius Sheryl Sandberg--who is easily better than Cleopatra, Boudica and the Virgin Mary all put together--is putting on her stilettos and extra lipstick as she calls her female hordes to action. Why? Because those evil, uncivilized and overly hairy men still control the one area in the world where women are not in the majority: leadership positions in government and industry.
This is naturally an unholy evil that rivals even the Holocaust, simply because women must best men at everything, something I wholeheartedly agree with according to feminista lore/mythology/fairytales. I can't believe that it's the 21st century, and men are still breathing, kicking and, yes, even alive! OMG! OMG! Women have had 30 years where they earned more university degrees than men, yet they're still being kept down...by the man. Clearly, this is all misogyny and sexism perpetrated by dirty old white men. This makes me so angry that I am seriously thinking about exposing every bad boyfriend I ever had on Dontdatehimgirl.com. Oh, snap!!
I think that Sheryl does a really rad, b/o/o/b/s-out job of exposing exactly why women are still mistreated like 3rd-class citizens, even though Democrat Barack Obama (an evil man, too) is the president. And, at that, who better than Sheryl to explain this because she has put in a career's worth of fighting against these evil, horrible, bad men in corporate America, rising all the way to Facebook's COO. Sure, she only works for Mark Zuckerboy, a man, because she wasn't ambitious enough to actually found Facebook, but that's really beside the point.
As a woman who has risen to the top in corporate America, Sheryl naturally knows what it takes to beat all the men and become Queen Bee. And she wants to help her fellow gals so much that she honorably collected all this information in this book, just so she can charge you $14 for it, girlfriend! If that doesn't say girl power, then I don't know what does, ese! Meow. Purr. Purr.
