In our performance reviews with women, we need to be saying, "Are you reaching enough? Are you applying for jobs when you meet some of the criteria like men, or are you waiting to meet all the criteria like women do?" There's so much we can do to encourage women to take on more and believe in themselves.
Sheryl SandbergMotivation comes from working on things we care about. It also comes from working with people we care about.
Sheryl SandbergI believe we need affordable child care. I believe we need flexibility. I believe we need institutional reform and public policy reform.
Sheryl SandbergPeople think that women don't negotiate because they're not good negotiators, but that's not it. Women don't negotiate because it doesn't work as well for them. Women have to say, 'I really add a lot of value, and it's in your interest to pay me more.' I hate that advice, but I want to see women get ahead.
