Women, Work and the Will to Lead

I just had this conversation today about women's choices in their careers when shown some data about women lagging in promotions and senior ranks.    Women should be confident and share their talents.  There are many women who are more effective in jobs even in a 40-hour a week or part-time role than some people in a more than full-time role.    We need to change the culture since it's not about the time you're at work that counts but the work that you accomplish. Don't opt out, opt in.... See Sheryl Sandberg's talk on TED http://www.ted.com/talks/sheryl_sandberg_why_we_have_too_few_women_leaders.html or get ready to purchase: Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead In 2010, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg gave an electrifying TED Talk in which she described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Viewed more than two million times on the web, the talk encouraged women to ''sit at the table,'' seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto. In this new book, she digs deeper into those ideas. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice calls it ''a superb, witty, candid, and meaningful read for women (and men) of all generations.''
