Lean In Summary

About Lean In Book

#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • “A landmark manifesto" (The New York Times) that's a revelatory, inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual growth that will empower women around the world to achieve their full potential. 

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.

Much Yet To Conquer

Much Yet To Conquer

We live in a very interesting moment in which women have the highest level of expression in history, mostly thanks to the feminist movements of the 60s and 70s.

On the other hand, because it seems like the fight for equality has been won, progress has been taking place, and things have been evolving, however at a low pace. Inequality of genders still exists in various spheres of society, mainly when it comes to careers and work.

The Truth About Gender Equality In The Modern Age

The Truth About Gender Equality In The Modern Age

  • Despite significant progress, it is important to be aware that gender inequality still exists.
  • Women are still discriminated against, and many aren’t aware of the ongoing bias.
  • Women are noticeably absent from leadership positions.
  • Whether it’s due to childhood learned bias or motherhood, many women tend to be less committed to pursuing leadership positions.

Example: Only 4% of Fortune 500 company CEOs are women even though women outperform men in pre-professional academic settings.
