If You Do Please Everyone,

There Is No Straight Path From Your Seat Today To Where You Are Going. Don't Try To Draw That Line. You Will Not Just Get It Wrong, You'll Miss Big Opportunities. And I Mean Big-like The Internet. Careers Are Not Ladders, Those Days Are Long Gone, But Jungle Gyms. Don't Just Move Up And Down, Don't Just Look Up, Look Backwards, Sideways Around Corners. Your Career And Your Life Will Have Starts And Stops And Zigs And Zags. Don't Stress Out About The White Space-the Path You Can't Draw- Because There In Lies Both The Surprises And The Opportunities.

In Those Same 10 Years, Women Are Getting More And More Of The Graduate Degrees, More And More Of The Undergraduate Degrees, And It's Translating Into More Women In Entry-level Jobs, Even More Women In Lower-level Management. But There's Absolutely Been No Progress At The Top. You Can't Explain Away 10 Years. Ten Years Of No Progress Is No Progress.

Leaders Should Strive For Authenticity Over Perfection.

The Reason I Wrote Lean In Is I Think People Weren't Actually Noticing That We Had Stopped Making Progress. I Gave A Ted Talk And Said: "it Turns Out Men Still Run The World." And The Audience Gasped As If That Was News.

We Cannot Change What We Are Not Aware Of, And Once We Are Aware, We Cannot Help But Change.
