This means that women\u2019s voices are still not heard equally in the decisions that most affect our lives. In Lean In, Sheryl Sandberg examines why women\u2019s progress in achieving leadership roles has stalled, explains the root causes, and offers compelling, commonsense solutions that can empower women to achieve their full potential.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESandberg is the chief operating officer of Facebook and is ranked on Fortune\u2019s list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and as one of Time\u2019s 100 Most Influential People in the World. In 2010, she gave an electrifying TEDTalk in which she described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which became a phenomenon and has been by viewed more than two million times, encouraged women to \u201csit at the table,\u201d seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn Lean In, Sandberg digs deeper into these issues, combining 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 recounts her own decisions, mistakes, and daily struggles to make the right choices for herself, her career, and her family. She provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career, urging women to set boundaries and to abandon the myth of \u201chaving it all.\u201d She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women in the workplace and at home.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWritten with both humor and wisdom, Sandberg\u2019s 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\u2019t do to what they can.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA Summary of the Book\u003Cbr \/\u003EChapter 1: The Leadership Ambition Gap\u003Cbr \/\u003EChapter 2: Sit at the table\u003Cbr \/\u003EChapter 3: Success and Likeability\u003Cbr \/\u003EChapter 4: It\u2019s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder\u003Cbr \/\u003EChapter 5: Are You My Mentor?\u003Cbr \/\u003EChapter 6: Seek and Speak Your Truth\u003Cbr \/\u003EChapter 7: Don\u2019t Leave Before You Leave\u003Cbr \/\u003EChapter 8: Make Your Partner a Real Partner\u003Cbr \/\u003EChapter 9: The Myth of Doing It All\u003Cbr \/\u003EChapter 10: Let\u2019s Start Talking About It\u003Cbr \/\u003EChapter 11: Working Together Toward Equality\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EPlease join the Office for Human Resources as we roll out our 2013 Reading Circle Series.
