Sundberg's speech is such a push for women to fight for themselves, to stand for their own rights and to own their own success. She is such a motivation not only for adults but also for young girls to establish song feauteres to fight for the equality, to be able to achieve high peaks, not looking at unfairness of some people and companies. She recommends 3 basic things for women to do.
1. "Sit at the table"
2. "Make your partner a real partner"
3. "Don't leave before you leave"
She explains all of the above-mentioned steps and encourages everyone, especially females, to try to follow these steps.
I am laughing at all the negative comments. This talk was perfect, it did not blame men, it did not blame the business structure. It looked at the true cause, we are raising our women to be subservient. She didn't say that physically men and women are the same, she just asked women to stand up for themselves.
Jeff Bridges Lmao did you really waste your time typing all this up? That whole comment is ignorant garbage. What a joke. :')
+Jeff Bridges Get a life, troll. More men have failed in leading companies dumbass. Just because couple women took risks and didn't turn out well and we're still in evolving era doesn't give you enough data to prove anything at all. AND anyway you will be broke all your life, keep fantasizing about how your Y chromosome gives you a head until you're dead. No one care about you deadbeat. True leaders believe in equality and bringing everyone up.
Selena Gomez Girl PREACH!
Men of quality don't fear equality.
Jeff Bridges What are you, a fucking stone-ager? There's many women who do that. Stop wasting my time with your senselessness. You've already been shut down as soon as you opened your close-minded ignorant-assed mouth. This conversation is over.
+Jeff Bridges Everyone is aware of that. Things started to change for women since 1970s. Still long way to go. Most countries don't even have equal rights. Talk statistics after every single fucking country at least have institutional rights, societal rights will take a long time.
What I like specifically about this speech is that she isnt blaming men, but pointing out how women subconsciously choose not to be a certain and points out how women should tell themselves to reach for the top, if they want to be on top. While men already are doing that.
Agree. This is what all is about.
Too bad she's the same woman who wants to "ban" the word "bossy". I suppose it's possible to simultaneously be a brilliant/successful entrepreneur and a stupid feminist ideologue.
Women prefer Male Leaders. End of discussion.
@@artemisw6859 No its instinct based on their dna. Confidence comes from testosterone. Men have more. Stop denying science.

3. Don't leave before time

What did she mean by "have a good partner". Like have a partner who is stable enough and can give you the joy of motherhood etc. when you got time away from work. Use him for that right? Reverse the genders.
@@tromboner6061 lol just a supportive partner . Someone who doesnt blame the wife for " look, the children arent getting proper parental support becuase of your fcking job "
i think the shoe is on the other foot, women do not even get paid for the work they do
"Done is better than perfect."
--Sheryl Sandberg
"Done" cannot last, "perfect" does. "Done is better than perfect" is nearly plagiarized from "Perfection is the enemy of the good" and both are foolish to say and moreover it is even more so to believe. It is shortsighted but works in a system that has no chance of anything long term. We are in the winter of our rule. Congratulations ladies, you assume power now that it is all about to fall. You cannot see the writing on the wall.

Have you no shame. You fabricate evidence, you twist the truth. You are paid millions of dollars to produce this documentary that HAMAS committed rape.
Women systematically underestimate themselves. So true. Women don’t negotiate salaries. No one gets to the top by sitting at the side table and thinking they don’t deserve it or don’t believe their own success.
They do, they also are TONS less likely to be seek STEM professions. But that's thought to be the result of the patriarchy.
Imagine being so pathetic, a victim of the everything and without agency, everything a woman is is ebcause of men, Women willingly give men all the power with a statement like that without even realising it. sad and pathetic state of rationale
I guess Im pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to watch newly released series online ?
@@rileyjesiah6284 Ya Netflix
Blah, blah, blah, blame men. Yawn.
She made fair points; I don't disagree with what she said.
However, what was UNsaid was one of the key reasons there are mostly men in high-level positions...
is they're prepared to utterly devote themselves to the job and grind out 100 hour weeks at the expense of all else.
Now here's the thing to understand:
While VERY few women are prepared to do that, not many men are either.
Reasonably so.
But of the people that ARE prepared to put in that kind of insane commitment,
they are almost entirely MEN.
Sad reality we live in. A talk given a decade ago is still relevant.
Studies has shown ( more than 80% females) and also lots of Female TH-camr has shared their experience saying that they hate working under female Boss.
If you want to know why just look on YT.
Why is it sad?
Why does it matter that there are lesser women billionaires??
What matters is are most women getting to live happy life.
Or basic necessities. If you are carrying a movement about something, the issue must be serious not just for any fun or privileges.
Obviously women ceo's are less because of less suitable attributes.
Admit it 🙄
uh, we still have fewer female drainage workers, plumbers, construction workers, and fewer suicide rates why don't we talk about that too? well ladies you cannot pick and choose when you want equality.
@@xenzorygames4116 you know, there are more male sucides, because of toxic masculinity?
@@goldi1018 because men goes through a lot more stress than women
As girls dad, I would say speak up and stand up for yourself, be respectful, believe in yourself and aim high.
Make sure you define "being respectful" for them in a way that does not require being quiet and obedient.
I think people are overlooking the fact that 40 or so years of freedom does NOT make up for centuries of oppression. Even when we have legal freedom, the imbedded values of society are often not mentioned. When in reality the legal freedom pales in comparison to (silent) societal oppression.
Women have never really suffered in America since it's founding and in western Europe for the last 600 yrs......yes women have felt with some pretty unfair things but so have men.....have you ever heard of conditions in the workplace during the industrial revolution?
Have you heard the tale of the famous myth of the Amazonians? Long story short there were a feminist tribe who treated men as if they were demons. Also since they had to have kids to pertain their satanic tribe, they raped innocent men ( I know that is hard for feminists to believe, but history does not lie) and did not let the men ever see their children again. Now if it was a boy the woman would sometimes let the father keep his son, but never a daughter. And you are accusing men of being evil?
Actually, history often lies - it's written from a particular perspective. And anyway, as you say, the Amazonians is a myth... and we all know they lie!
You can't argue that, otherwise I could just argue that history lied about the lack of female rights.
nutjob alert
'success and likability are positively correlated for men and negatively correlated for women' For me this was the most significant part of the whole talk, this something I have experienced but couldn't quite put my finger on. Very inspiring x
That is incorrect, men are drawn to smart and successful women. There is no negative perception of successful women in guys corner . All the judging that is done towards both men and women is generally done by other women. Women judge other women about everything, how they dress, where they work, how much they work, how clean their house is, what clothes they wear, if the purse matches the shoes , how they raise their children etc. This list can go on, they meet together in little group and they start gossiping and judging other women. Men do not do that, men 80% of the time do not talk about women, and in the 20% of the time they do, they talk about women in admiration like, how pretty this girl is . She mad a very good food etc.
If you cant put your finger on it all you have left is what you already wanted to hear.
No, it's because most women "leaders" are hyperfeminazi's and make disgusting powermad "bosses." Go on with hearing what your itching ears want to hear, as corporations, and socialistic governments are becoming ever-more irrelevant, and your paradigm with it. You won't be missed!
I picked that up too but not sure what that means. Women shouldn’t be like able if they want to succeed? I want my daughters to succeed and not be mean 😁; so I need to understand this more.
@@TRUjohn Men are not "drawn to smart and successful women"....in truth, men could give one rats butt iota about a woman's career or degree.....those are VERY low qualities men seek in deciding on any form of relationship.
Being "at the top" generally requires 100 hour work weeks, a stressful environment, taking calls at 2AM, etc etc. Maybe many women simply decide they don't want that life, even if they're qualified. I heard someone say, "we shouldn't be asking why there aren't more women in these top jobs, but rather asking why anyone would want those jobs in the first place."
Probablly J. Peterson ;)
once women have kids world is changed for ever ;) working that much is not worth it, just not. My kids are the hardest and most rewarding thing in my life. I still manage to maintain career but it's not a priority. I would not stand not to work but also I don't want work over 40-50hr/week. At least not now, when my kids are still small ;)
As a man if I had the choice to work 40/50 hours a week so my partner could make it to the top and I take more parenting responsibilities that would be fine with me. However feminism has not changed that side of the story yet, men still feel obligated to be the bread winners and it’s specially harsh for Hispanic men. At any case, and at least form me, I’ll always remain flexible.
@@antonioytm You're so stupid Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Feminist triggered.
Yes. Though curious how men have been oppressed by careerism for centuries, women just recently, and as capitalism in this country evolves into plutocracy (it always kind of was I suppose) we’re supposed to embrace it like it’s a gift from heaven
I love this Ted Talk even though it is almost a decade old. After I have been a manager and senior director in 6 other roles, I am now entering into my first executive role next week! Even though I am exceedingly well qualified and educated, still I feel nervous and worried about a couple things. This talk helped me to see that I am doing this not just to contribute to the industry, world, and my family. I am doing this for women and for the women to come after me. Onward women! Let's go!
Keep up the great job! Thanks for inspiring a young lady like me to do greater things in life and aim higher.
You are awesome
Hi, I'm wondering why you still feel nervous and worried about a couple of things when you have been a manager and a senior director in a number of roles? hope you can share to me your insights as I am also going through the same thing.
Got kicked out from Meta after she turned it into a genocide enabling machine for Myanmar and Izrael by silencing and dehumanizing the victims.

Hopefully she never becomes CEO she would crumble the fucking company to the ground.

I still remember when I was the topper in my school. My female teacher was teaching about equality between men and women and she proudly said "our school topper is also a female". Never felt so proud of myself.

this is honestly so beautiful :)
Are you greek? Cause your name is greek
This is honestly so GAYYY !
honestly I feel like i wanna cry when I finished watching this TED talk. It's so powerful and inspiring. I've entered the finance industry for more than a year now and I've noticed since day one that there are still very few female leaders in the industry (from my own experience). This speech is still very powerful even thought it's 2022.
Yes we need more crybabies like you in powerful leadership roles, making important decisions with potential for severe consequences.
I feel the same way
Since starting work, I’ve had 3 female bosses. All of them were horrible power whores
Get used to it
she is the author of the book called "lean in" ... highly recommended!
A book trying to teach women to do what men do naturally. Not exactly a pioneer now is she?
Option B is great as well!
@@deafears4025 "naturally" is a strong word no? ..... *cough* social conditioning *cough*
@TeriSandHu As well as "Evolutionary psychology" who put leadership in men's group on a very high level of the priority scale... Because, you know, hunting, rival tribes and stuff.
@@Finalhellmaster So are every men you know leaders ?
My dad who was a general manager at a company stayed home for more than 2 years to support my mom in kitchen chores and she will do the cleaning once she gets back from work...
Her speech is not just satisfying a feminist agenda, it's actually human oriented. We need more women and men leaders thinking about how to improve the human condition.
ANTHONY- is THAT what you think the business world should redirect its reason for existing on? "improving the human condition" rather than AVOIDING BANKRUPTCY?
so start your OWN company with your own money then, hiring nobody but WOMEN !
@@bademoxy Thank you
I don't mean to sound sexist, but in my opinion the reason there are more men then women in leadership role is due to (1) emotional management (a) as boys, since a young age, we been told stuff such as boys don't cry. While girls on the other hand people are more tolerating towards it. Despite been able to express one's emotion can be better for personal health, in the long run, by 14~15 boys in general increasingly become better at emotional management compare to girls (b) Boys don't need to deal with the mood swings associate with PMS. As harsh as it sound, emotional management is important in higher positions, there are time, when its alright to be emotional, but other time, letting emotion cloud our judgement can have horrible effect. Been overly emotional, when you cannot be emotional can have horrible effect, especially while in leadership role. Even take a look at culture. The Chinese once talked about pre age of enlightenment Europe and post Age of Enlightenment Europe, one thing they say is, if you look at European text since the fall of Rome and before the Age of Enlightenment, all their artwork and poetry is about romance, while after the age of enlightenment it is all about science. Take a look at South American countries, these countries are very much over indulge in emotions of romance, and they are poor, western Europe tend to be more in favor of rational thinking and they do well, even romantic countries such as France, people are only romantic during their off time. When its time to be professional, not so romantic. Asia been the most powerful region for most of the last 2000 years, despite it suck for a while, it quickly climb back up after the 1950s, and Asians are the less romantic people in the world, In all of China history only one classical novel is romance, while with Europe, a lot of classic is heavily influence by romance. The same boys don't cry principle, in Asia to a certain extend it was even been apply to girls, where some parents make their little girls sit in the naughty corner for crying, in the west, when their little girls are crying it is all hugs and kisses, if the dad is a bit of a thug, he probably go try bash people up. If Asian parents are that harsh with their daughters while crying, you can image with boys, I remember when I was a little boy, I use to get slap for crying. (2) women are more likely to leave the workforce to take care of children, it is human nature, all men wants to be an alpha and all women wants to be with an alpha. It is an evolution instinct, due to alpha male are better providers. As a result, even with the speech of, it is alright for the wife to work and husband stay at home with the kids, most couple are reluctant to do it, even when it is the logical choice, most of the time when it happen it is due to e.g. the husband is a working class guy that had a major injury at work and no longer able to do heavy lifting and now can barely make minimum wage. The wife is a college graduate that can get a decent office job, so, now, it only make sense for the husband to stay home with the kids, while the wife work. Those are very rare situations. As a result, with more husband working and wife stay home with the kids, the result is nature, more likely men get into leadership role, due to more women give up on their career.
True feminism is about equality. It's about making people equal, and since women aren't equal we fight for the right - but a real feminist doesn't want to take away rights, they just want women brought up to the same level as men. So, her speaking on an agenda that makes humans equal and self-confident is 100% what true feminist agendas are, it's the newbies and the femi-nazis who gives our movement a bad name.
@@bademoxy Ha 😂 Yea!

I agree, feminism needs to stop demonising men for being born, we're bored with it now and women are complaining that we are leaving them alone as demanded by feminists for the last 50 years.
which is it you want?
oops, no one is listening anymore, the blame,shame, vilify game is completely self defeating, and yet it's up to those whom have been vilified to do something about the intersex relations feminism destroyed?
I thought you were supposed to be so independent, what happened?
telling men to 'step up' is ridiculous, we didn't break it, we don't have to fix it, in any case, we no longer have the time nor patience to pander to women's demands and pouty fecetious whims, in case you hadn't noticed : life does not give free rides.
men have allways been aware of this, now it's your turn to learn the hard way.
feminism is a quasi-religion of misandry : sexism is sexism how ever one wishes to colour it.
I don't interact with sexists, male or female, bigotry of any kind disgusts me.
the marxist exjews seek to change the culture-by destroying it, like they did in russia and china.
"She's got three jobs and he's got one" - this is the key issue working women who marry need to reconcile before saying I do!
Then don't get married. No one is forcing anyone to get married. We need to stop complaining for the choices we make regardless if we are male or female.
Huzuproductions Can a woman choose not to work when she gets married and has kids? That’s another solution to the issue...
totally agree!
No, it is not women's problem. She is not a slave to work, to take of the house, and of the children. It is also the husband's responsibility and duty to do housework and take care of the children. A marriage is a union and the husband should do his part to make that union work. The woman is not his servant, but his life partner; a child is not a toy, but a living being that has needs; a house doesn't clean itself. I'd say this is all men need to consider seriously before thinking of marriage.
@@Huzuproductions Men like you who wants to just sit in the couch while wife is cooking - dont get married and ruin women's lives.

But then I hear girls around me talking about how they did so bad on the test and I think that maybe it was too easy. Maybe I did bad on that test too but didn't realize. But I don't underestimate myself anymore once I see that high grade. Seriously I once had 3 tests on one day that I didn't expect and I aced them all.

This is a very eye-opening Ted Talk! I was very intrigued by the part about women systematically underestimating their abilities. As well as the women workforce tends to refrain from negotiating for themselves. Lastly, attribute their success to external factors as opposed to themselves which oftentimes causes major issues in the workforce for our women. I think we as a society have to encourage and instill more confidence in our women. Whether it be women boosting women up or men boosting women. The work from you (Sheryl Sandberg) is what we need more of to break these characteristic patterns practiced and that have been instilled into women.

I loved this. That whole don’t leave before you leave was an eye opener. The hands down insight was spot on.
I can see the gender inequality in music programs and how few women composers there are. Less than 2% of works by women are performed in the well-known music venues. The same goes for women composers in the film industry. I do notice how my male peers tend to be more assertive and certain of their abilities whereas women tend to question their talents and abilities and run more insecurity. It’s time we start believing we are enough and we are worth getting these opportunities we are seeking.
Hello geerthings my name is hamdan the crowd prince of Dubai aad me on WhatsApp+447549038751
The number of derogatory comments on this video towards this talk and women in general is disgusting. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a woman standing up for herself, asserting herself, being confident, and dominating. I feel like many people deride feminists because they think we're trying to say that women are superior to men, and that's not true; we're just asking for equality. There exist these female stereotypes of women being innately demure, domestic, weak, and not competent in fields that are supposedly "masculine" (such as STEM fields, business, etc.), that have proliferated in our society for so long which many people ignore or simply accept to be natural, and that needs to change. Some of you might say that women who fit those stereotypes do exist, and I agree, but I also think that there is a large percentage of women who are molded to be that way simply because that's the place our society locks them into. The fact that all these negative comments below exist only goes to show how ignorant our society is today. I'm ashamed of you all.
izzy wong What about female janitors? Coal miners?

Truly, a women, symbol of patience, can only write lengthy comments.
P.S. - Not read your comment even a word. But, I agree and sympathise with you. Pity…..really.

As a career woman, i think the second advise ( make your partner a real partner) is the most difficult to achieve. A lot of male executive are married to housewife...the opposite not really.
Dumbass lol
It's because women only want to marry men who make more money and have a higher status than them while men are not in any way attracted to women because of how much money they make or what status they have. So as you make more money as a woman your dating pool becomes smaller but as you make more money as a man your dating pool becomes bigger.
@@sargentslim300 wow you must be so butthurt answering all the successful women
Astute observation early on that moms almost always feel guilty for working outside the home (whereas most dads--myself included--probably don't). Of course the question is, "Is that guilt genetic, or societally-inflicted?" Lots of other fascinating data and anecdotes though, both for the workplace and the home!
Her talk is a good summary of her book, Lean In, if people don't have time to read it. But there's a real sadness for me listening to her talk knowing that she's now a young widow (albeit rich and at the "top.")
Men know that most women will take care of her (his) children, no matter what, so men don't need to worry. Society says a woman has to take care of her children, so responsibility falls on her shoulders. She worries, because it is supposed to be her job. Men worry about the money to care for children, financially, but not much about spending time with them, educating them, and so on, in general , of course.
Woman are the givers of life and are natural-born care providers ... This goes back to cavemen. Most men find their sense of worth in providing a lifestyle where their wives CAN be the nurturing mamas they were meant to be.
Personally, I love those God-given roles.❤
💃🏻💞🕴
Society. Nobody ever asked my ex-husband how he was going to plan everything with work and a baby. Every time our son became sick at daycare or school, the first number they called was mine not his although his number was listed as number one (him working parttime and close by where I worked full time miles away). When he switched back to fulltime nobody asked him if he wasn’t going to miss his ‘daddy time’. Nobody ever asked him if he was afraid of ‘missing out’.
This was a phenomenal talk! I am so so happy I got to hear it. However, I am shocked at the comments... you all are proving her point.

No!
This TED talk is eloquent and encouraging! As a young woman trying to get her footing in the adult world, your advice is appreciated!

This talk is so inspirational! I come from a small community where most of our civic leaders are female. I have found a great deal of inspiration from this, but also a lot of guidance offered. I am employed in the Insurance Industry, where leadership is vastly dominated by men (out of around 15 agencies locally, 1 is owned by a woman). My ambition is to join those ranks, and by "leaning in" and taking charge I am already well on my way to that point!
Shut up sexist.
She has a good book based on this Ted Talk presentation!
A lot of the negative comments here actually demonstrate the points Sheryl Sandberg is making. We need to think past and challenge the norms.
Jacinta King so where the feminist campaign to push for more women oil riggers, ditch diggers, coal miners etc... feminist seem to be only concerned with women having powerful hi ranking jobs
For those who think that she can't speech about equality in workforce and feminism because she is a rich, powerful woman: " PRIVILEGE is when you think something is not a problem because is not a problem to you personally"
If only men and women respected each other regardless of the differences each one of us has perhaps the world wouldn’t be such a disastrous place.
Respect is the key!
Exactly.
Now I feel like neither Gender Trust or respect each other 😞
@@kayla_battle True enough, all humans aren't perfect and anyone of sanity knows that. There will be people who are morally strong, support the weak, educate the orphans, uplift widows but also those who are mentally weak and dependent, those who gossip, cheat, badmouth and whatnot. Your comment on neither gender trusts or respects each other is pretty darn true. Women live in fear of being raped / sexually assaulted, not taken seriously while men have a fear of being accused, emotionally neglected and laughed at.
Respect is earned.
The amount of negative and sexist comments on this page is appalling, yet we are such a progressive country the U.S that prides itself in equality for all. The point Sheryl is making is valid. Women need to own their own success, stop waiting for a man to provide, but be a co-provider as a partners. Men and women can work as a team. The problem with our culture as obviously stated is that majority of young girls who become women do not think highly of themselves, or pursue ambitious roles because they have been relegated to the background so much that they do not feel welcome in challenging areas filled with men.
I would disagree. The US is hardly progressive given its potential for progress. Compare its potential for providing healthcare and the healthcare it provides. Look at its potential for providing equal wages for men and women and compare that to reality.
We need more women to share the burden of the workplace death rate.
In 2011 4234 men died on the job while only 375 women died. Women need to step up and start sharing some of that burden. Gee, I wonder why no rabid feminists are protesting about this? Women only want high status, high paying jobs but they're happy to leave the septic tank pumping, sewer work, and oil well driller jobs to the lowly semi-human males.

Female employees there refused to do this, but yelled for the same pay. They refused to work overtime, and they refused to work more than 25 miles from their homes. The men who got the better pay were driving 100 miles for assignments, and working the late hours.
Vention1MGTOW While I may not agree with everything she has said I find it sad that this is the top comment of such an inspirationally motivated video.
Vention1MGTOW Exactly. But what women don't realize is that being a CEO *is extremely stressful.* It's not fun and games and play time and you are held *accountable* and accountability is something women run screaming from.. women want a dictatorship and that's what they think a CEO is .. held accountable by the shareholders and the board and can be thrown out in a heartbeat.
Nor is being a CIO, COO, CFO, director, etc. fun. So the reason only 2% of women are CEOs, 6% CFOs, COOs, etc., is because when they actually DO get into those positions they quickly quit or get fired. 'I' wouldn't want to be CEO! No freaking way! All that pressure?
And this women Sheryl whatever (like it matters) isn't a CEO, she's COO and sure enough, I read she barely even comes in to work like so many women. She's busy doing this crap everyday, telling women how to be successful. But she only got that job because she whined until she got it. Great message to young women. What a joke. And then women actually wonder why no one takes women seriously.
Vention1MGTOW
that's a bit reductive and not really helpful. if you want to help men who work in dangerous jobs, you should be doing your best to financially support trade unions, who are there to advocate for the rights of workers.
here is a handy list:

furthermore, women have been involved in improving working conditions around the world.
this post is on tumblr but it provides links to various articles and reports on how women are improving conditions for workers around the world;

what's the point in coming to this video (which was made both by and for women) if it's just going to make you write out irrational and angry posts? please, try not to think with your emotions.
If you knew the safety procedures I have to go through while working underground you wouldn't think things are this simple.
It has nothing to do with conditions. The jobs are dangerous. The risk of death is a daily thing. Women don't work these jobs.
I love toast
haters gotta stop being ignorant and read her book (preferably the lean in for graduates since thats the updated version), she explains how her experiences led her to talk about these things and more detailed reasons why she's speaking up about these issues
I worked for a toxic female boss recently and she schemed to have me fired over no good reason. Screw them!
Agree. We also have too few women as construction workers, miners, plumbers, carpenters, and sewage fixers. Btw I'm not talking about those women who claim they work in the field but always doing the easiest, safest and non-nasty tasks as they avoid their responsibility. Can you persuade women to take part in these fields too like how you push them to be leader?
Because they don’t want to. Theres a reason majority of women go into fashion and teaching children and men do miners plumbers and construction workers. It’s due to testosterone do the research
for all women to be liked by her accomplishment & perseverance to Not Leave before its Time to Leave.
정말 이런자리까지 올라가는 사람들은 지적이고 현명하고 도덕적이지
I believe what all girls and women need to understand is that this is a male dominated world and we need to start creating big goals for ourselves. Yes people don't expect us to earn a lot of money, looking pretty is enough but it isn't and shouldn't be enough for us. I think women have way more potential than the world taught us and only through self examination, self-awareness, self-love, reading, educating, getting fit, becoming strong by learing mma or boxing or knowing some important tricks to protect ourselves, being alone and smart while taking care of ourselves we will reach our potential.
About having kids I think men and women both should take care of the child. Isn't it so weird the woman takes care of the child most of their life and the child gets surname of their father lol so we should value ourselves and put only that much which our partner will too. Add your surname to the child too because it's your baby and never ever ignore insults. When anyone threatens you, become strong and show them your power. Best of luck to all the women in the world, may you realize your true potential and never settle for less.
I have a question for you. It’s true 90% of the powerful and high-paying positions are filled with men, but what about the low-paying, dangerous, and powerless jobs like construction workers, front-line soldiers, plumbers, firefighters, police, truck drivers, loggers.. are these not also filled by men? How many men who are bricklayers for one men who is a CEO or politician?
@@vietnammg Dont expect answer from brainwashed feminists.
@@vietnammgand what about baby sitter, Nurse, makeup artist.. Why there are very less men here??
Women and men can both be spectacular in very different ways and both possess the qualities needed for success. Unfortunately, for some reason, women tend to undermine themselves for absolutely no reason at all (hypersensitivity to superficial messages in the media!) If you want credit for what you do- man or woman- you need to OWN it and act like you belong, no matter what you're doing or where you are. Why should someone give you the trophy if you don't claim it?
I'm sorry you were stuck in an unprofessional environment. Doesn't seem like you were in the caliber of work environment to be able to meet talented people, which makes perfect sense from the impression your comment gives about your lack of character.
From my experience, I have met women and men alike who have been exceptional leaders because of their people skills- empathy, humility, thick skin, and ability to ask the right questions in the right situation. I just happened to notice that women usually put more effort and energy into really understanding who they're working with on a personal and emotional level, a method of relationship building necessary in business and in solving complex, people- oriented problems. Business runs on people who understand people- you obviously do not.
To "And women just need to give up" You are either a man who has no mother, a man without a penis, or someone with no love in their life.
Maloprininism
_I'm sorry you were stuck in an unprofessional environment. Doesn't seem like you were in the caliber of work environment to be able to meet talented people, which makes perfect sense from the impression your comment gives about your lack of character_
Lol 'An unprofessional environment,' like I've only had one job. I've worked for over 20 different companies over the last 25 years and currently I work in corporate sales for a company I've been with for 8 years and all the people I speak to everyday are in other companies, _hundreds_ of them in every industry there is.
I meet more people in a week than you do in 6 months. You have _no_ idea what you're even talking about at all. And all of these people are CFOs, CEOs, COOs, CIOs, IT Directors, VPs, the best and the brightest and there are very, very few women in any of those positions. Only 4% of CEOs are women, only 6% of CFOs, 3% of COOs, etc. www.investopedia.com/articles/financialcareers/09/top-female-ceos.asp
Not because of 'oppression' or 'sexism,' but because those positions require huge amounts of responsibility that women run screaming from as well as stock holders holding them accountable and women are incapable of human accountability and don't even know what character is, demand respect instead of earning it like a man. They only want to work part time, never start their own companies, are extremely flaky and unreliable and are petty and bizarre. They fire themselves with their extreme incompetence and extremely immature, infantile behavior, I've seen it a dozen times.
Putting anyone, a female or minority in a position like that is just stupid because you are only setting them up for failure because you're not putting them in that position because of qualifications, but because of their gender or race.

What a pile of steaming empty buzz words and catch phrases that are completely meaningless. I doubt you've ever even had a job and just read too many feminist articles in women's magazines or on Jezebel. And you're way behind the times, even _women themselves hate working for other women._ There have been numerous studies done about this:
*Women Prefer Male Bosses Even More Than Men Do:*
www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-10-16/women-dislike-having-female-bosses-more-than-men-do
_To "And women just need to give up" You are either a man who has no mother, a man without a penis, or someone with no love in their life_
*84% of women today in the U.S. want to be housewives:*
www.forbes.com/sites/meghancasserly/2012/09/12/is-opting-out-the-new-american-dream-for-working-women/#7a51e3aa3095
So let me get this straight, because most women today clearly state that they want to go back to the kitchen and have given up on Feminism that means I have no penis, love no one and do not have a mother according to your 'logic' - and you _wonder why people don't take women seriously and why women fail consistently in business._ You're idiots.
Oh and btw, Cheryl Sandberg's position at Facebook is 'COO.' The COO is tasked with the day-to-day administration and operation of a business and I can guarantee you that she isn't doing her job there and someone else is having to yet she still gets paid.
How do I know? Because all she does is travel and give these incredibly stupid, cringy speeches to pathetic and delusional women like you. Men having to do all of the female employees' work for them because the women are always out, too slow and too stupid. Sounds like just another day! Women in the workplace are a joke.
I learned something important recently from a staffing organization, men are more likely to still apply for a job not meeting 100% of the qualifications listed (and still get it because they bothered to apply) but women won't. We feel we shouldn't apply for a job because even though we have the degree and three years experience, it says four, so we skip past it. We don't even try because we think we'd be looked over anyway or it would be wrong to "not follow the rules." Men still apply. We need to be more self-assured, like men, because I did that just now, I applied one term short of my B.S. and I got the job AND they're working with my last term of school in the fall. I asked the hiring manager why, he said I have the experience and talent, and I asked why then ask for the list of qualifications and he said, "It weeds out those who don't feel confident in their ability because a confident person applies anyway." I was blown away.
Katherine Petersorf I don’t think that’s true Kath, for there is high level of gender equality in this era than in the past
Interesting observation.
Being a female leader really hard. The main reason I have experienced is not having men's 'authority voice.' Whenever I try leading, guys will just not listen to me. It is just not fair.
+Melo Huang Probably because you are not a natural leader. Just as many men aren't natural leaders too.
"success and likability are negatively correlated for women" sooo sad😭
" I want my daughter to not just succeed but also to be liked for her accomplishments" this got me!

Hello geerthings my name is hamdan the crowd prince of Dubai aad me on WhatsApp so we can talk more better. +447549038751
Great talk. Really like her clear delivery and sense of humor.
for all the individuals who believe this is "whining" or "unnecessary", we don't require your opinion to change our lack of contentment with the situation.
Although this video is more than a decade old, most of the problems still exist. What stood out to me the most is how telling or advising women to demand their worth is not enough because success in the work field is heavily dependent on likeability both are in heavy favor of men.
Awesome message 🥰. What I think is that women don’t necessarily have to be made strong in order to compete with men at the top of the leadership board because women are already strong, what we need to do is to change the way the world perceives that strength
That's what gets women punched in the face is when they try to act like a man and be assertive and aggressive.
I like how she thinks about men too. She is not one of the women who think "this world would be better only women were in charge." The problem is not whether a certain gender is better. The problem is the inequality and the ways society has conditoned us to associate certain traits to be positive or negative based one's gender.
Everyone needs to read her book lean in as well. We all need to make a difference! She is so right!
Great talk. She basically summed up her book , Lean In
@taothewanderer Well, you're already in a ditch with that mentality.
There is also this mentality of, "A rich guy will take care of me." Which could be true. (In some cultures perhaps that is the prayer due to lack of privileged opportunities available to girls/women.) But I would rather bet on myself getting rich than on someone else providing for me. Also, when you're financially independent, you can make better negotiations in your relationships due to the maturity and leadership skills that you developed as you built your financial freedom. In whatever job that you do (in the corporate world, as a mother, as a daughter, etc.), be your best and become an improved version of yourself every year. You don't need to be in a corporate setting to have a fulfilling life's journey. But if that is your dream, you must make strategic decisions to help you fulfill that dream or else you won't be ready for the challenges that will come your way. Without such preparation, you cannot weather for storms of the demanding corporate world, family or self-care. And always keep a question in mind, "What if no superhero will come and save me?"
We need more mothers like her...loved every part of it
"A generation when half of the country and half of the company is run by women will be a better world"
Truly inspiring speech👏
Why would it be better? The 2 nations which have had empires over the last 100 years, Britain’s is dead and America’s is still going, have propelled 4 women to the very top of Government or as close as possible. Thatcher, May, Hillary and Kamala Harris, not a single 1 of these changed (or in Harris’ case, appear to want to change) the institutions for the better.
Maggie brought in neoliberal capitalism to the U.K., which we still feel the effects of. May was responsible for the hostile environment when she was head of the Home Office, Hillary has admitted to creating terror groups in Afghanistan in the 80’s and Harris has said the Dems won’t ban fracking.
All of there tenures/what they stood for have been bad for humanity. This vid was a yucky law of attraction talk, nothing more.
@@naveed210 Hillary's a joke lol. (I'm not saying trump is perfect either) There's a reason why even women didn't vote for a female candidate when they had the chance to - she said women who don't vote for her are traitors to the gender. Wonderful attitude for a so called 'feminist' to feel entitled to the presidency merely due to being a woman, telling women they can't think for themselves and absolutely being the biggest hypocrite ever. Then she's had a speech in which she said the biggest victims of wars are women . WOW! like wow what about the men who gave their lives to keep you sleeping peacefully in bed?
@@naveed210 Another thing to note is how much importance feminists assign equality of outcome instead of equality of opportunity - a totally unjustified and appalling idea keeping in mind men and women's differences in choice. Even in the most egalitarian countries in the world we don't see equality of outcome and it's evidently because women don't want the same jobs as men, don't study the same courses in equal proportions in ALL FIELDS.
I love her so much!!! And Lean In. Thank you so much Cheryl you're a huge inspiration to me and my channel and women power !!! ♡♡♡
Thank you. I am at crossroads in my career and need to negotiate my next steps, and this really helped me.
You will get there.
oh I can relate to every sentence she says. I hope I keep working hard and getting through.
It is good to hear that, but quite frankly this is not adding any essence
To me this is absolutely inspiring. I have always been an A-type personality with my academics. And as I form my career I need to keep that drive going. My male counterparts do not make excuses for their success or drive, and neither should I. Thank you Sheryl. Pedal to the metal!
Wow. I HAVE A 5-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. This message (I felt) was totally for me, as I am a career-woman and mother! Thank you.
What an important conversation. Thank you #SherylSandberg for the critical role you play in it. As a woman who has been in leadership at various nonprofit organizations and also a mother of three (now) adult children, I know the heartache of the crying child on the leg and the “guilt” that is apparently simultaneously birthed with the first child. I attended an all women’s college-which I now understand helped me to embrace the concept that my voice matters and that I do belong at the table. I was blessed to marry a man that shared both parenting and home responsibilities (50/50) and I agree 100% that the benefits of this type of approach to marriage are AMAZING even after 28 years! I have always loved encouraging young women to live out their purpose and calling and to lead fiercely. I have sometimes intentionally and others times without knowing it served as a mentor to younger women. Sadly, I have worked with very few women in leadership who appreciate and support strength in other women in the workforce. I’m reminded of the dove commercials that highlight the ways we value certain attributes/qualities in men and hold the very same attributes/qualities against women. I hope we continue this conversation so that the changes begin with us and ripple out into our spheres of influence. My three adult kids will tell you that although mommy has always loved her work-she always loved them more...They are doing great by the way, and we all still treasure the limited time we get to enjoy together.
Is it possible to know what kind of dove commercial that you are talking about???
Coming from the opposite gender this was so inspirational, She provided us with insight on how the world sees others and provided evidence which supported her claims.Gave a few laughs to lighten up the room and motivated people watching that they can do it too. Path to success is for everyone, doesn't matter the gender.
Damn, your simp cup overfloweth.
@@hellogoodbye4061 some woman broke your heart it seems 😂
@@sameenshahid7457 Nah, I just don't simp as you do it seems. (Now add a silly widdle emoji here for further smug self-righteousness)
Obviously most of you don't like what she has to say, but you have to admire someone who says what she believes and keeps in there saying it even when people make stupid comments like the ones most of you are making.
By that logic, should we admire a racist too for saying what they believe and continuing to do so despite the negative comments they receive?
Don't leave before you Leave ....actually hits at a different level
Me and my husband both are working, if I came 30 mins late from work, my husband comments "she is so irresponsible" but if he is late, I m always worried and feel it would have been tough day for him so I will prepare everything for him and wait...
well, i guess there's another "empowered and independant" career women heading into the ranks of catdom...
Wouldn't spending extra time to finish things at work mean you're being more responsible.
@@bademoxy hey she's working and going somewhere, unlike you
Does Sandberg do any actual work for FB? I ask this question because it seems every time I see her she's either complaining about how hard life is for women or telling men to do more housework.
Travis Bickle She never comes in to office...has already made tons of money from google and facebook stocks and only bitches about women not getting opportunities....this is the same woman who's husband sits at home and takes care of the kids. lol
Puru krishnamurthy Wow. Her husband who recently passed was Dave Goldberg, who founded Survey Monkey and numerous other huge companies he built from the ground-up.
My mother worked with Dave and Sheryl. She attended Dave's memorial and the way you just said that above really is disrespectful. She made more money than you can ever think of, and you know, she is fighting for women's rights and donating large parts of that money to good things. So you really have no effect on her and how amazing she is.
Go Alex!!!
Alex Tooth She is still an anti-male feminist. She is famous for it. Get used to it
wow what she is saying is so so so true
when i do good on my school work i am always thanking a specific teacher or external luck the question was nice or just the fact maybe my examiner was happy that day
if i ask any of my guy friends they'll legit say "i am just wired differently i get things really fast" lol
Realising this is the first step to improving your approach to success honestly
Be proud of your accomplishments girl
This is completely misleading. Even boys, in fact as many boys lack in the ability to accept appreciation. I am one of them. I'll be like the paper was easy, the others mustn't have studied too much etc. This will sound sexist but in my whole school career I only found boys to be quite fast at mathematics, in general. There were quite smart girls too but few in number. The girls would get the grades, but would always lack in quick problem solving.
@@shauryadivya1736 nobody wants reality!
@@imranahmed-in4mo Many people do.
there is a huge difference between women leaders and knowlegable leaders who happen to be women. I've seen women leaders develop. They first thing they do is go into "Drill Sgt mode". I ran into 1 woman leader my entire military career. She was my senior, a bit overweight, but had a smile sexier than Janet Jackson and an even sexier character. She knew "the books" inside and out, and welcomed all challengers. It didn't define her. She kept the office running like a Swiss watch and I spent time prepping her for her wedding. I wish I did not loose contact with her; it was a big mistake. That kind of character was as unblemished as a white crayon in a full box of colors.
1.sit on the table 2.make the partner a real partner 3.dont leave before u leave
Personally, I applaude Sheryl Sandberg for being an empowering, independent and successful woman. She is a step in the direction for the future we seek. I do also think, however, that this step she has taken is short of a stride. She has ignored a lot of social inequalities in endorsing this ineffective "trickle-down feminism". I feel as if her brand of feminism is of any use to the elite. So what I am saying here is that, her success is incredibly praiseworthy, but these speech has basically reduced feminist principles to that of a "self help" book.
+FrankieG_95 she an elitlist jewish supremacist
+FrankieG_95 Can I ask, how is racism derived from sexism?
Marshall Slade Good question actually, and the answer is far too complex for me to give you an adequate answer. But what I will say is that they are at the very least linked via both racism and sexism being forms of prejudice, in the same way apples and bananas are linked via both being fruits. They're not quite the same thing, and bananas are not derived from apples, but they share an indisputable link. Personally, I find that whenever I have encountered racism, I have usually encounter sexism too. That's a personal matter though and shouldn't be applied to everyone. My point was that overcoming all prejudice, such as racism and sexism, will lead to an equal society.
(Also, not good with TH-cam replies, so add me on Facebook @rosie.gill.475 if you wanna chat about this more)
You motivate me Sheryl. Thank you for speaking the truth for women.
I gave up work to become a stay at home mum. Hardest job in the world but the best decision I ever made. I don't have strangers raising my children. I get to be there and really be involved in their lives. Have I missed spending 8 hours a day working and spending time with people I don't really care about not once. Love is true happiness.
I agree, but now I'm confused between "I'm awesome" and (another ted talk which said) "Why incompetent people think that they are awesome". AAAAAAAAAAAA WHAT DO I DO NOW?
🤷♀
Why do you think more men think they're awesome? 😂 anyway, I'm kidding, I love men. Look objectively and answer that question for yourself
Really hope all those feminism speech could take this kind of approach instead of blaming on different aspects or on the males. Im a woman myself and i find this talk really sensible and truly inspirational. Compared to other videos where they had beautiful intention of inspiring woman but sadly have mistook ways which blame and also shading. This only allows for more and more people thinking feminism is just a group of people who is inferior and emotional. Or even take advantage of this in many aspects.
Sadly when it is meant to be something meaningful. Truly a tragedy now.
This talk literally gave me goosebumps! Thank you ma'am 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Subtle biases are the worst. Love the way this speaker addressed that subject!
"Women have to chose between professional success and personal fullfilment"... If professional success and personal fulfillment are two different things, than you should go for personal fulfillment. The women are therefore on the right path.
More than 10 years later, this speech is still so relevant today.
1. Seat at the table.
2. Make your partner a real partner.
3. Don't leave before you leave.
Literally came on here to say the same thing, It is so relevant-- still.
Still my No. 1 favorite!
a truly iconic talk by Sheryl Sandberg!
This had me rethink about a lot in my life!!
I'm grateful
She's my role model 😍❤️. Her book- LEAN IN is a must read !!!
Yeah!!!! Best book.
Such an inspirational woman. Haters gonna hate.
Such an man-hating woman. Haters gonna hate.
What a lot of people don't realize is that women and men are inherently different. Men and Women aren't just different physically, but psychologically as well. For example, women tend to obsess over people whereas men tend to obbsess over things. (There are outliers.) Women tend to choose jobs that have a focus around relationships, whereas men tend to focus on jobs where they can focus on a task. This is backed by studies on humans as well as primates. That's just how we're hardwired.
The arguements presented by the speaker don't appeal to female vs male biology. I understand the points she's making, but without sufficient knowledge on why these things happens, how can one pose a solution? I personally see this arguement as lacking sources and background knowledge.
When the speaker mentioned that all the men had their hands raised for the duration of the questioning period and the women didn't, I thought that had more to do with biological impulses rather than anything else.
She brings up solid points, I just wish they were backed by something other than feelings. Sure, it sucks to not have your questions answered as a woman, but women and men just have different struggles. I bet that many men struggle in areas where women thrive. Women's and men's successes cannot be compared, so why are we looking at a man's version of success and applying that to women? Why can't women be successful in ways men aren't (and vice versa)? We're completely different creatures, and that needs to be acknowledged within discussions like these.
Well GM has two female leaders at the C- suite running the company. I think the only company in the automotive sector. Barra and Suryadevhara , CEO and CFO respectively have really changed the course of women working in top tier challenging sectors. This will indeed be an inspiration for many.
How can someone dislike such an amazing talk 🤕
A well-established man-hater telling you to blame men for all that ails the world and that women are eternally oppressed is not sound advice. Hoping your mind has expanded beyond this closed realm.
Love this!! Have watched a few times and each time I learnt something new. Great leader and speaker Sheryl
We definitely need more women in leadership! This is an amazing talk! And one needs to choose how they consume the information.
I am a mother, a "successful" career woman. To be honest, I do not feel like to have a C-level job ( I had C-level jobs for years though)if I do not have to, I will be more comfortable if I focus on family and do some other job I enjoy, will not cause conflicts with my nature often as a woman, a mother and a wife. I like to be a writer, a consultant, a teacher, etc. some roles that provide me flexible time and space to keep a balance between my life and work, and still can influence other people in a positive manner from my observation and experience as a woman, different from a man. I believe this is a natural way to respect the bio-difference between a woman and a man, we have different expertise, and it is important to take care of our family. Mothers play a crucial role for children at home. If a mother is too busy at work to spend quality time with their children, it may become the root cause of insecurity inside of their children later on. I am happy that I spend time with my son and left my business for a while, I am comfortable if I do not have to make hard decisions at work as a "boss", I am delighted to be a freelance and enjoy the harmony both at work and family-peace of mind.
Some people say it's important to talk about this stuff, they say you can't fix something unless you acknowledge it's a problem. In many ways, I actually think talking about and always hearing how big of a problem it is that women are not in leadership actually makes it worse for women. Constantly hearing how the odds are stacked against you if you are a woman, black, or whatever creates an unnecessary mental hurdle.
Imagine if an athlete training for a fight had to hear throughout their training camp that they have a 70% chance of losing. They hear it from their coaches while they train then they go home and hear it in the media. Obviously, this would be a huge disadvantage. So why would we teach in school that women make 70 cent's on the dollar compared to men or tell them they are less likely to end up in leadership? I'd have to think this only holds them back. If I was a woman I wouldn't even entertain these narratives for a second.
Great point. Complaining about anything just creates more to complain about, no matter how sophisticated and intelligent it sounds.
Why is she blaming it on men, it's the women's fault for not wanting to be that profession, different genders have different tastes, accept it.
Right.... I agree that "genders" have different tastes, because gender is socialized. Biology is not...
Casey Swanson And even before we're socialized we tend to be interested in things people think that gender will be interested. Baby boys are more interested in toy trucks than dolls. There's nothing wrong with that and people like Sheryl who think that are terrible for it.
this is a very good speech. I love her points. She makes me wanna change my actions
We can do hard things. ❤ Let's suspend our natural tendencies for brief moments in service to our callings.
This is why we have to follow our passions.
