Lean in: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg
2.0
The first few chapters were interesting, but it later devolved into the typical executive blather. Did not find it to be particularly inspiring or helpful. I
t's fine to know my networking ability, personal brand, and general potential for success and satisfaction are hampered by systemic limitations in addition to my own capabilities and choices. Sandburg's goal seems to be to motivate and encourage her readers and that may work out well for those new to this info. But the practical advice to work beyond those limitations is pretty minimal.
If I had to give an award to the most insightful and useful piece of information I received this week about being a woman in the workplace, I would give it to a blurb in The Economist about the psychology of why competitive practices such as forced ranking demoralize people and reduce productivity, and that had the added bonus containing exactly zero limp jokes or bizarrely irrelevant quotes from Oprah.
