Sheryl Sandberg Quotes

For any of us in this room today, let's start out by admitting we're lucky. We don't live in the world our mothers lived in, our grandmothers lived in, where career choices for women were so limited.
I feel really grateful to the people who encouraged me and helped me develop. Nobody can succeed on their own.
I go around the room and ask people, 'What do you think?'
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.
I have never worked for a woman, and I have never worked with a lot of women.
I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.
I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with, all these fabulous women, 'Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.' I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it's not that simple.
I would be better at my job if I were technical.
If you ask men why they did a good job, they'll say, 'I'm awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking?' If you ask women why they did a good job, what they'll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard.
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.
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.
Over the last 10 years, women have stalled out at the top.
The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home.
Until women are as ambitious as men, they're not gong to achieve as much as men.
We've got to get women to sit at the table.
When you're more valuable, the people around you will do more to make it work.
Women are not making it to the top. A hundred and ninety heads of state; nine are women. Of all the people in parliament in the world, thirteen per cent are women. In the corporate sector, women at the top - C-level jobs, board seats - tops out at fifteen, sixteen per cent.
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.
As women get more powerful, they get less likable. I see women holding themselves back because of this, but if we start talking about the success-likability penalty women face, then we can do something about it.
At Facebook, we try to be a strengths-based organization, which means we try to make jobs fit around people rather than make people fit around jobs. We focus on what people's natural strengths are and spend our management time trying to find ways for them to use those strengths every day.
