SHERYL’S PRINCIPLES

Vision of Leadership:

• Be Real and Be Whole• Make your partner a real partner• Acting with authenticity• Take your seat at the table• Seek ways to promote and connect

others• Do not leave before you leave

“ I don't believe we have a professional self from Mondays through Fridays and a real self for the rest of the time. That kind of division probably never worked, but in today's world, with real and authentic voice, it makes even less sense.”

PROMOTE AND CONNECT WITH OTHERS

“Sandberg is known to pull people aside and tell them exactly what is expected of them.”– Facebook’s VP of engineering Mike Schroepfer.

HONEST SPEAKER

“She’ll say not what you want to here but what will help you the most… She’s willing to take risk, incur pain, in the interest of helping other people”– Sheryl’s sister Michelle to Vogue.

Never afraid of showing emotions“I’ve cried at work”- Sandberg told Businessweek. “I’ve cried to Mark. He was great. He was like, ‘do you want a hug? Are you O.K.?’”

Her Facebook colleagues say they like her “deftness with the subtle form of persuasion known as soft power.”

“I can say very simply I have never seen anyone with her combination of infectious, enthusiastic spirit combined with extraordinary intelligence.”– Facebook Board member Jim Bayer to Businessweek.
