"It may be that solving the problem of fade-out in women's potential is enough of a mission for Sandberg, at least for now." Belinda Luscombe, Time Magazine, March 18, 2013
The person referred to above, Sheryl Sandberg, is COO of Facebook and has written a book (Lean In) and created a website to help women reach their professional potential. www.leanin.org Notable is that Sandberg had as a mentor Larry Summers (World Bank). It seems the world would be a different place if every woman had a man who would mentor her into the intricacies of the higher echelon of professional life. It is also notable that Sandberg is reported to have both a high IQ and a high EQ (emotional intelligence), but, don't we know a lot of women about which that is true? It is a tribute to Sandberg that she is using her power at the top of professional life to share with other women how to do it. Good for her, and good for us all.
