In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg reignited the conversation around women in the workplace.
Sandberg is chief operating officer of Facebook and coauthor of Option B with
Adam Grant. In 2010, she gave an electrifying TED talk in which she
described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their
careers. Her talk, which has been viewed more than six 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
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.
Written with humor and wisdom, Lean In is
a revelatory, inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual
growth that will empower women around the world to achieve their full
potential.
