4. SHERYL’S PRINCIPLES
Vision of Leadership:
• Be Real and Be Whole

• Acting with authenticity
• Take your seat at the table
• Seek ways to promote and connect others
• Do not leave before you leave
“ I don't believe we have a professional self from
Mondays through Fridays and a real self for the
rest of the time. That kind of division probably
never worked, but in today's world, with real and
authentic voice, it makes even less sense.”

“Sandberg is known to pull people aside and tell them
exactly what is expected of them.”–
Facebook’s VP of engineering Mike Schroepfer.
HONEST SPEAKER
“She’ll say not what you want to here but what will
help you the most… She’s willing to take risk, incur
pain, in the interest of helping other people”–
Sheryl’s sister Michelle to Vogue.
8. Never afraid of showing
emotions
“I’ve cried at work”- Sandberg told Businessweek. “I’ve cried to Mark.
He was great. He was like, ‘do you want a hug? Are you O.K.?’”
Her Facebook colleagues say they like her “deftness with the subtle
form of persuasion known as soft power.”
“I can say very simply I have never seen anyone with her
combination of infectious, enthusiastic spirit combined with
extraordinary intelligence.”– Facebook Board member Jim Bayer to Businessweek.
“Motivation comes from working on things we care about. But it also comes from working with people we care about. And in order to care about someone, you have to know them. You have to know what they love and hate, what they feel, not just what they think. If you want to win hearts and minds, you have to lead with your heart as well as your mind. I don't believe we have a professional self from Mondays through Fridays and a real self for the rest of the time. That kind of division probably never worked, but in today's world, with real and authentic voice, it makes even less sense.”
“I've cried at work. I've told people I've cried at work. And it's been reported in the press that 'Sheryl Sandberg cried on Mark Zuckerberg's shoulder', which is not exactly what happened. I talk about my hopes and fears and ask people about theirs. I try to be myself - honest about my strengths and weaknesses - and I encourage others to do the same. It is all professional and it is all personal, all at the very same time

Self-Confidence: aware of their own, and importantly others’, values and/or moral perspective
Positive self-image: For women, recognizing that confidence and self-awareness of their leadership abilities is empowering and not something that should be suppressed.
-you have to find real ways to build a relationship; we need to commit to real equality
