Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead

Description

#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - "A landmark manifesto" (The New York Times) that's a revelatory, inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual growth that will empower women around the world to achieve their full potential.

In her famed TED talk, Sheryl Sandberg described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which has been viewed more than eleven million times, encouraged women to "sit at the table," seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto. Lean In continues that conversation, combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to change the conversation from what women can't do to what they can. Sandberg, COO of Meta (previously called Facebook) from 2008-2022, provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career. She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment, and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women both in the workplace and at home.

read this one for the Alliance of Women in Workers’ Compensation Book Club & truly enjoyed it. I loved how Sheryl gave examples from her own life about her struggles to succeed, gender stereotypes/biases and how she is continuously striving to do better and to be better. At one point she mentions how she hopes that there will just be “great leaders” and that someone will not be distinguished as a “great female leader”. Her concept of “Lean In” ci...read more

There is a lot of value in a woman with a top position in business pointing out the many barriers women face; and calling for changes in the work place, society, and in how both women and men approach business and feminism.

That said, I was fam...read more
