Summary

Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In is a massive cultural phenomenon and its title has become an instant catchphrase for empowering women。 The book soared to the top of bestseller lists internationally, igniting global conversations about women and ambition。 Sandberg packed theatres, dominated opinion pages, appeared on every major television show and on the cover of Time magazine, and sparked ferocious debate about women and leadership。 Ask most women whether they have the right to equality at work and the answer will be a resounding yes, but ask the same women whether they'd feel confident asking for a raise, a promotion, or equal pay, and some reticence creeps in。 The statistics, although an improvement on previous decades, are certainly not in women's favour – of 197 heads of state, only twenty-two are women。 Women hold just 20 percent of seats in parliaments globally, and in the world of big business, a meagre eighteen of the Fortune 500 CEOs are women。 In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg – Facebook COO and one of Fortune magazine's Most Powerful Women in Business – draws on her own experience of working in some of the world's most successful businesses and looks at what women can do to help themselves, and make the small changes in their life that can effect change on a more universal scale。

I really enjoyed the thought put into Lean In

Everyone, irrespective of gender, must read this book。 It is so well written that I almost highlighted something on each page of it。It talks about how women in workforce feel and how some behavioral patterns remain strikingly similar across geographies。Sheryl has included instances from her personal life, lessons she learnt and ways how she overcame various obstacles。I wonder how nice it would be if men sitting at the helm of leadership give a read to this book and empathize more with the women Everyone, irrespective of gender, must read this book。 It is so well written that I almost highlighted something on each page of it。It talks about how women in workforce feel and how some behavioral patterns remain strikingly similar across geographies。Sheryl has included instances from her personal life, lessons she learnt and ways how she overcame various obstacles。I wonder how nice it would be if men sitting at the helm of leadership give a read to this book and empathize more with the women entering workforce and be more accommodating towards them。My favourite quote:"The promise of equality is not the same as true equality。" 。。。more

I really liked this book! I think it shares good ideas that are definitely applicable。 I do understand the criticism, women are multi faceted and there is no one-size fits to become successful。 But I truly believe Sheryl Sandberg’s ideas are a great building block for women。

I was hesitant to read this at first because I believed that it would most likely rip apart capable and educated women like me who "throw away" their promising careers to raise children。 But I was pleasantly surprised。 Sheryl Sandberg obviously has different life goals than me (I still think she focuses too heavily on power and promotion over productivity), but I loved a lot of her points。 She speaks very highly of caregivers, she challenges women to get over their own insecurities and to challe I was hesitant to read this at first because I believed that it would most likely rip apart capable and educated women like me who "throw away" their promising careers to raise children。 But I was pleasantly surprised。 Sheryl Sandberg obviously has different life goals than me (I still think she focuses too heavily on power and promotion over productivity), but I loved a lot of her points。 She speaks very highly of caregivers, she challenges women to get over their own insecurities and to challenge themselves, and she gives several practical solutions to barriers for women in the workplace。 I think every women could benefit from this book。 But I think men might benefit from this book even more, especially those who have female employees/coworkers。 。。。more

She is an imperfect messenger, but the book has good data and research。 Good suggestions on how men and women can both be champions for gender equality in the workplace。Revising this review from 4 to 3 stars after further consideration。 This book should be renamed to include 'while white' in the title。 Despite the mounds of evidence that racial and ethnic minorities are discriminated against in the workplace at a larger rate, author treats everything as black-and-white as a man-woman issue。 Need She is an imperfect messenger, but the book has good data and research。 Good suggestions on how men and women can both be champions for gender equality in the workplace。Revising this review from 4 to 3 stars after further consideration。 This book should be renamed to include 'while white' in the title。 Despite the mounds of evidence that racial and ethnic minorities are discriminated against in the workplace at a larger rate, author treats everything as black-and-white as a man-woman issue。 Need consideration of intersectionality issues to truly be a book about inclusion and helping people lean in to their lives。 。。。more

Great read, especially working in a very male dominated industry and has pointed out things to look out for as I progress in my career

What is it about corporate America that makes it so difficult for women to climb to the top of the career ladder?Sandberg deftly identifies and explores the obstacles that keep women out of the executive suite。 Despite the early reaction to this book, which is now accepted as a pivotal report from the top of the corporate ranks, her observations are not particularly divisive nor, on the other hand, would veteran women’s rights activists find them particularly revolutionary。The sad fact is that the conditions that thwart women’s rise to the top still prevail and aren’t improving。 Every day in offices worldwide, women face overt and covert discrimination, sexism and harassment。 The lack of options for child care and flextime forces them to choose, again and again, between their families and their careers。 Additionally, Sandberg says, women have a more difficult time than men finding mentors, and they must work harder to earn the same recognition。Are You Blocking Your Own Progress?Sandberg warns of the self-created barriers women place in front of themselves, but she’s careful to emphasize that she was guilty of the same behavior。 In general, she writes, women lack self-confidence and are prone to underestimate their value。 They’re also less assertive and feel more reluctant to self-promote and negotiate for themselves than their male counterparts。 And they want to be liked, which, Sandberg explains, can hamper their authority。Sandberg offers many suggestions about what women can do to overcome their internal barriers。 She urges women to “sit at the table,” and not be reluctant to “lean in,” speak up and make sure their voices are heard。 Sandberg recalls that once even she took a seat in the “back corner of the room” for a meeting on an unfamiliar subject rather than taking her chair at the conference table。 She makes it clear that female executives who defy the norms pay a steep price。 Colleagues and superiors may acknowledge women’s accomplishments, but they also may feel that executive women are “too aggressive” or “a bit political” or that they “can’t be trusted,” even though most people respect and admire men who have the same kind of self-assurance。Sandberg promotes the equal distribution of labor in the home and advises women to “make your partner a real partner。” Studies show that women who work full-time still continue to do the lion’s share of the housework and child care。 Sandberg noticed a common phenomenon among her female employees who planned to start families: They began to “lean back,” that is, refuse promotions or reject offers of additional job responsibilities, even before pregnancy。 This impeded their career growth。 When it’s time to leave, leave; but until then, remain fully engaged。What She Didn’t SaySandberg’s advice to women about fighting internal barriers is certainly cogent, though much of it could come from any informed, feminist social scientist。 She doesn’t mention the advantages firms enjoy when they add more women to their top ranks。 And readers may find themselves still curious about her more personal strategies to use in corporate America on behalf of female equality – given her perspective as one of a few leading women execs at giant US corporations。But readers also will find that Sandberg’s engaging personal anecdotes reach out to them beyond the formality of a corporate analysis, connecting with the lives of many working women, especially those who have obligations to both their work and their families。 As even her critics would admit, having such a visible COO lean in and address workplace sexism is a much-needed conversation starter。 Sandberg has climbed the ladder and offers readers the perspective of a battle-seasoned warrior looking out from the top。 。。。more

I am rating this book a 3。5 only because I had a difficult time getting into this book。 Growing up, my religion taught me that women typically stay home and are homemakers, while men go out to work and support the family。 I have adopted that lifestyle as well on my and my husbands choice and we are happy at this moment with how things are。 I think that was why I had a hard time getting into this book fully because I am not a working mother and don’t have a career。 The more I read, the more I tho I am rating this book a 3。5 only because I had a difficult time getting into this book。 Growing up, my religion taught me that women typically stay home and are homemakers, while men go out to work and support the family。 I have adopted that lifestyle as well on my and my husbands choice and we are happy at this moment with how things are。 I think that was why I had a hard time getting into this book fully because I am not a working mother and don’t have a career。 The more I read, the more I thought about my children and how although I chose the route at being a homemaker, that doesn’t mean my daughter has to, or it doesn’t mean my son has to live those same standards either with his future spouse。 There is a lot more that goes into this book, but that is what stood out to me the most, how I can lean in on teaching my children how to make their own choices and support others choices even if they are different from theirs, while also believing in their own choices。 。。。more

Sheryl conveys a very positive mindset。 Women should believe in themselves, fight for opportunities and be proactive。 Get ready to present yourself。 The mentor topic is particularly interesting to me。 Always think about what I can do for others before asking for something。 Quick and easy read!
