Elizabeth  Harson:  Responding to Sheryl Sandberg: Why we have too few women leaders.

Sheryl states:

·         Women are not making it to the top anywhere in the world.

·         Women face hard choices between professional success and personal fulfillment.

·         Data shows that success and likeability are positive for mean, but negative for a women

She suggest that in order to keep women in the workforce we need to do the following:

1.    Sit at the table

2.    Make your partner a real partner

3.    Don’t leave before you leave

She thinks it is important not just for women to succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.

I think it is true even among the group of women, we are supportive and encourage each other in personal matters, but in professional situations it is not as easy for some.

It is hard to balance it all.  It takes a huge commitment to make the sacrifices, but it goes back to what we believe and what we are passionate about that keep us going.
