Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg – extract
Facebook Sheryl Sandberg chief says women lose in the workplace because they do not negotiate for themselves, and if they do, are punished for it
In October 2011, Jocelyn Goldfein, director of engineering for Facebook, had a meeting with our engineers where women were encouraged to share the progress that has been made about the products they built. Silence. Nobody wanted to blow his own horn. Who would want to talk when women are hated self-promotion? Jocelyn changed direction. Instead of asking women to talk to them, asked them to tell stories. The practice has become commonplace, which put everyone at ease.
Being successful is another key to success. Career depends on people who believe that the employee contributes to good results. Men can easily claim the credit for what they do, as long as you do not turn to arrogance. For women, the use of credit has a real cost social and professional. In fact, a woman who explains why he is qualified or successful in the past mentions an interview can reduce your chances of being hired.
double bond As if that was not enough to navigate, gender stereotypes can also lead to women having to do more work without additional reward. When a man with a colleague, the recipient feel indebted to him and is very likely to reciprocate. But when a woman takes a hand, the feeling of indebtedness is lower. It is not unusual, right? She wants to help others. Columbia Business School Professor Frank Flynn calls it "kind of problem," meaning that women pay a penalty for his alleged professional desire to be common. On the other hand, when a man with a colleague at work, is considered a tax which is offset by more favorable performance evaluations and rewards such as salary increases and bonuses. Even more frustrating when a woman refuses to help a colleague, who often receive less favorable opinion and fewer rewards. But a man who refuses to help? It does not pay a penalty.
Because these unfair expectations, women are in the "damned if you do" and "damned if you do not" situations. This is especially true when it comes to negotiations on the compensation, benefits, securities and other benefits. Generally, more men than women to negotiate. A study analyzing the starting salaries of students graduating with an MA from Carnegie Mellon University found that 57% of male students, but only 7% of female students, tried to negotiate a subsequent offer. Instead of blaming women for not continuing the negotiations, we must recognize that women often have good reason to be reluctant to defend their own interests, as it may be against-productive.
- There are some disadvantages when men negotiate. People expect men to advocate on their own behalf, noting their contributions, and to be recognized and rewarded for them. For men, there is really no harm in asking. However, given that women are expected to refer to others when they point to defend himself or his own worth, men and women react unfavorably. Interestingly, women can negotiate as well or better than men in negotiating for others (like your company or colleague), because in these cases, the defense does not seem selfish. However, when a woman is trading in its name, is breached the standard of perceived genre. Both male and female partners are often reluctant to work with a woman who has negotiated a higher salary because it is considered more demanding than a woman who has refused to negotiate. Even when a woman successfully negotiates itself can afford a long-term cost in the future and goodwill.
- When I was in talks with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and CEO of my pay, he made me an offer that seems fair. We were having dinner several nights a week for over a month and a half, discussing Facebook's mission and vision for the future. I was ready to take the job. No, I could not wait to take the job. My husband, Dave, told me to negotiate, but I was afraid to do something that could ruin the case. Could play hard, but then maybe Mark would not work with me. Was it worth it when I knew the end was willing to accept the offer? I concluded that this was not the case. But just before I was about to say yes, my brother-in-law exasperated, Marc Bodnick, exclaimed: "Damn, Sheryl Why are you doing less than any man would do the same job? "
Everyone needs to feel more comfortable with women leaders - including women leaders themselves. Since 1999, Fortune magazine editor Pattie Sellers oversaw an annual conference, she called the top of the most influential women. On my first night there in 2005, I was in the room with two close friends, Diana Farrell, director of the McKinsey Global Institute, and Sue Decker, Yahoo CFO of the time. We spoke the name of the conference, and I mentioned that when I saw the title of the corporate calendar from Google, I asked the name be changed to the Conference on Women Fortune. Diana and Susan laughed and said he had done exactly the same thing.
later Pattie said she and her colleagues chose this name for the purpose of forcing women to cope with their own power and are more comfortable with that word. I still have trouble with it. I am applying the word "powerful" to other women - the more the better - but I shake my head in denial when applied to me. The nagging voice in the back of my head, I remember, as he did in business school, "Do not flaunt your success, or even let people know about your success. That people do not like. "
