These Sheryl Sandberg quotes will help us to learn her female leadership principles.
- “Done is better than perfect.”
- “The upside of painful knowledge is so much greater than the downside of blissful ignorance.”
- “What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”
- “Women need to shift from thinking “I’m not ready to do that” to thinking “I want to do that- and I’ll learn by doing it.”
- “We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.”
- “Success and likeability are positively correlated for men and negatively for women. When a man is successful, he is liked by both men and women. When a woman is successful, people of both genders like her less.”
- “Life is never perfect. We all live some form of Option B.”
- “We compromise our career goals to make room for partners and children who may not even exist yet.”
- “Motivation comes from working on things we care about. It also comes from working with people we care about.”
- “Let me fall if I must fall. The one I become will catch me.”
- “There is no perfect fit when you’re looking for the next big thing to do. You have to take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way around. The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.”
