I resisted reading “Lean In” after it was first published last year, put off by the initial commentary that characterized Sheryl Sandberg’s philosophy as “blaming” women for not getting ahead. Since my day job as an employment attorney is to advocate for individual rights in the workplace, including for the numerous women subjected to all variety of gender-based discrimination, I decided I was not going to waste my time on the book.
On the recommendation of a former male boss, who happens to have three daughters, I picked it up, and I am glad I did. Regardless of your view of Sandberg, the privileged position from which she speaks or the specific suggestions she makes, there can be no doubt that her book has become a catalyst for important and productive conversations about women and leadership.
