Lean In - Women, Work and The Will to Lead

In 2010, Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook, gave an electrifying TEDTalk - viewed more than 2 million times. In it she described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers and encouraged women to "sit at the table," take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto.

Sandberg digs deeper into these issues in Lean In and examines why - despite the progress women have made - men still hold the vast majority of leadership positions in government and industry. She combines personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to cut through the layers of ambiguity and bias surrounding the lives and choices of working women. She describes specific, practical steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfilment and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women in the workplace and at home.

Written with both humour and wisdom, Sandberg's book is an inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual growth. Lean In is destined to change the conversation from what women can't do to what they can.
