Don’t miss Nicholas Kristof’s recent article on the New York Times, She’s Rarely The Boss. He discusses Sheryl Sandberg’s new book, Lean In,  and her provocative thoughts on women, work and the will to lead.

Sheryl on women not pursuing opportunities: “We internalize the negative messages we get throughout our lives, the messages that say it’s wrong to be outspoken, aggressive, more powerful than men. We lower our own expectations of what we can achieve. We continue to do the majority of the housework and child care.

On spouse collaboration: “I am hoping that each woman will set her own goals and reach for them with gusto,” Sandberg writes. “And I am hoping that each man will do his part to support women in the workplace and in the home, also with gusto.”
