[Recorded May 8, 2013]For the past five years, Ive sat at a desk
next to Sheryl and Ive learned something from her almost every day.
She has a remarkable intelligence that can cut through complex
processes and find solutions to the hardest problems. Lean In
combines Sheryls ability to synthesize information with her
understanding of how to get the best out of people. The book is
smart and honest and funny. Her words will help all
readers—especially men—to become better and more effective
leaders. - Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO, FacebookThirty years
after women became 50 percent of the college graduates in the United
States, men still hold the vast majority of leadership positions in
government and industry. This means that womens voices are still not
heard equally in the decisions that most affect our lives. In Lean
In, Sheryl Sandberg examines why womens progress in achieving
leadership roles has stalled, explains the root causes, and offers
compelling, commonsense solutions that can empower women to achieve
their full potential. Sandberg is the chief operating officer of
Facebook and is ranked on Fortunes list of the 50 Most Powerful
Women in Business and as one of Times 100 Most Influential People in
the World. In 2010, she gave an electrifying TEDTalk in which she
described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their
careers. Her talk, which became a phenomenon and has been viewed
more than two million times, encouraged women to sit at the table,
seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto.Join
