Lean In is a massive cultural phenomenon and its title has become an instant catchphrase for empowering women. The book soared to the top of bestseller lists internationally, igniting global conversations about women and ambition.
Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Meta (previously called Facebook), draws on her own experience of working in some of the world's most successful businesses. She looks at what women can do to help themselves and make the small changes in their life that can effect change on a more universal scale.
In her famed TED talk, Sandberg described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk encouraged women to βsit at the table,β seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto.
Lean In combines personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to change the conversation from what women canβt 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.
