Sheryl Sandberg quotes - page 4

Women have made tons of progress. But we still have a small percentage of the top jobs in any industry, in any nation in the world. I think that's partly because from a very young age, we encourage our boys to lead and we call our girls bossy. (Sheryl Sandberg)
I don't pretend there aren't biological differences, but I don't believe the desire for leadership is hardwired biology, not the desire to win or excel. I believe that it's socialization, that we're socializing our daughters to nurture and our boys to lead. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
Success and likeability are positively correlated for men and negatively for women. When a man is successful, he is liked by both men and women. When a woman is successful, people of both genders like her less. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
Social gains are never handed out. They must be seized. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
The reason I don't have a plan is because if I have a plan I'm limited to today's options. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
Women don't take enough risks. Men are just 'foot on the gas pedal.' We're not going to close the achievement gap until we close the ambition gap. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
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. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
I have never met a woman, or man, who stated emphatically, "Yes, I have it all.'" Because no matter what any of us has-and how grateful we are for what we have-no one has it all. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
Success for me is that if my son chooses to be a stay-at-home parent, he is cheered on for that decision. And if my daughter chooses to work outside the home and is successful, she is cheered on and supported. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
Today, despite all of the gains we have made, neither men nor women have real choice. Until women have supportive employers and colleagues as well as partners who share family responsibilities, they don't have real choice. And until men are fully respected for contributing inside the home, they don't have real choice either. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
In fact, my New Year's resolution every year, and I'm Jewish so I get two New Years a year, is to meditate, and I fail every time. (Sheryl Sandberg)
I probably shouldn't admit this since I work in the tech industry, but I still prefer reading paper books. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
There is no such thing as work-life balance. There is work, there is life, and there is no balance. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
we compromise our career goals to make room for partners and children who may not even exist yet. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
The promise of equality is not the same as true equality. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
I don't hold myself out as a role model. I don't believe that everyone should make the same choices; that everyone has to want to be a CEO, or everyone should want to be a work-at-home mother. I want everyone to be able to choose. But I want us to be able to choose unencumbered by gender choosing for us. View quote
Sheryl Sandberg
My hope in writing 'Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead' was to change the conversation from what women can't do to what we can. View quote
