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.
