TED Talk with Sheryl Sandberg: Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders

    The resource above is a TED Talk speech given by Sheryl Sandberg who is the COO of Facebook and one of "Fortune" magazine's Most Powerful Women in Business. 

    In this video, Sheryl Sandberg points out the fact that organizations all over the world are currently challenged with a lack of women in leadership positions. She explains why there are fewer female leaders than male ones and the factors that are contributing to this phenomenon by sharing her own experiences as well as several academic studies related to this issue. During this talk, she provides three powerful pieces of advice to encourage the women who intend to stay in the workforce and become the top of their professions.

    I think this resource is certainly valuable for both women and men because those three messages she offered could not only help women to consider how to balance their professional successes and personal fulfillments but also let men realize the importance to support their partners or daughters to build a sense of ownership and leadership from their careers. After watching this TED Talk, females would notice what they are able to do as individuals to reach the top and people of all genders might figure out some practical ways to establish a more ideal environment for the next generation of women who aim to play leadership roles in their workplaces.
