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.
