Ted’s speech : Sheryl Sandberg – COO of Facebook

Compelling statements Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, on Why we have too few women leaders

The numbers are staggering about women at the top, C-Level jobs and board seats only 15% are women and this, since 2002

Mrs Sandberg touches on 3 points: (I am paraphrasing)

- Seat at the table

No one gets to sit at the table by sitting on the side lines - We’ve got to get women to sit at the table

- Make your partner a real partner

When both partners work full-time, the women has to take time off for home duties

- Don’t leave before you leave

Basically, don’t sell yourself short. Take the opportunities. Reach for the promotions. Keep your foot on the gas pedal until you really have to leave.

But it is not that simple

What do you think?
