Introduction:
Sheryl Sandberg: Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg looks at why a smaller percentage of women than men reach the top of their professions -- and offers 3 powerful pieces of advice to women aiming for the C-suite.
1.
Sit at the table – women under estimate
themselves.
Question:
Why did you do a good job?
Response:
Men reply “Because they are awesome!”
Women reply “Because of some one helped
them. They got lucky. They worked really hard.”
2. Make your partner a real partner –
equal pay, work, jobs, recognition, etc. for everyone. No bias towards men.
3. Don’t leave before you leave – women should
have career plan that is long term, as well as short term. Keep your foot on
the gas pedal until the very day you are ready to move on with balancing home,
family, and work.
Conclusion:
Innovation ideas from the video include the use of analytics and data
mining to help fully realize the potential of women as corporate leaders. Knowledge
is good and sharing of knowledge is even better. Another innovation idea is the
use of social networking, distant education, and the Internet to alter the
present bias that stands in the way of equal opportunities for women.
Forces that impact these ideas:
Societal – is our society ready for balanced and equal
rights in the workplace, especially in the technology industry where the
current research highly favors men.
Economical – studies have demonstrated that men and women
with balanced lives for home and career will live longer, healthier, happier
lives, which ultimately increases productivity.
Technological – how can our society create a greater
interest in science and technology for women?
