Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook, joined the company in 2008 and is credited for helping to turn it profitable as the brains behind the introduction of subtly placed advertising.
By 2013, Facebook’s mobile advertising accounted for 30% of the company’s sales, even though this outlet had provided no returns the previous year.
Sandberg’s bestselling novel, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, was released in 2013, and it inspires women to pursue their career goals while also examining workplace barriers.
This sparked the “Lean In” campaign, which provides resources, education, and culture for women who want to excel in both their professional and personal lives.
To show our appreciation, we bring you her top 5 quotes about success and motivation!
“Taking initiative pays off. It is hard to visualize someone as a leader if she is always waiting to be told what to do.”
“There is no perfect fit when you’re looking for the next big thing to do.
You have to take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way around.
The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.”
“The upside of painful knowledge is so much greater than the downside of blissful ignorance.”
“Women need to shift from thinking “I’m not ready to do that” to thinking “I want to do that- and I’ll learn by doing it.”
“The more women help one another, the more we help ourselves. Acting like a coalition truly does produce results.”
