About this ebook
Sheryl Sandberg helped Google and Facebook become two of the planet's largest, most valuable companies. At Facebook, she helps run the largest network of humans in history. This is the story of how a "bossy" little girl from North Miami rose to become one of the most successful and influential women in the world and a lightning rod for the emotional debate over gender issues in the workplace. "I’m deeply passionate about Facebook's mission," Sandberg says, "and I feel fortunate to be part of a company that is having such a profound impact in the world.”

I’m proud to be a geek, I’ve been a geek my entire life,
Sheryl Sandberg told a cheering crowd at the 20th San Francisco Bay Area Girl Geek Dinner in 2012.
And now she’s a very successful geek, having helped Google and Facebook become two of the world’s largest, most valuable companies. And with Facebook, she helps run the largest network of humans in the history of the world.
Sandberg has even become something none of the men around her have: a noun. Savvy companies covet having their own Sheryl,
a number two who’s smart, competent, smooth, well-connected, with a steady hand to bring out the best in others.
Sandberg has not forgotten that people called her bossy
as a child. There is a word for ‘bossy’ for little girls in every language,
she says. The word is not often used to describe boys because it’s expected that they lead. But if a little girl leads, she's bossy.
So the next time you see someone call a little girl ‘bossy,’ she urges, you walk right up to that person and you say, ‘That little girl's not bossy. That little girl has executive leadership skills’.
She might become another Sheryl Sandberg.
Bossy
girl
Sheryl Sandberg was born in 1969 in Washington D.C. and grew up in North Miami Beach, Florida. She’s the oldest of three children of Joel, an eye doctor, and Adele Sandberg, a teacher who dropped out of a PhD program when she became pregnant.
I was the eldest of the neighborhood children and allegedly spent my time organizing shows that I could direct and clubs that I could run,
she recalled in her book Lean In.
Her two younger siblings David and Michelle attested to that in a humorous toast to Sheryl at her wedding in 2004.
To the best of our knowledge, Sheryl never actually played as a child, but really just organized other children’s play,
they told the guests.
The two, they confessed, were Sheryl’s worthless, weak first employees. For more than ten years, Sheryl took us under her wing and whipped us into shape,
they recounted. Their sister even taught them to follow her around shouting Right!
