Like Ginny Rometty of IBM, Merry Barra of General Motors, Indra Nooyi of Pepsico, Marilyn Hewson of Lockheed Martin, Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook is creating a new horizon of leadership where their action speaks louder than their words- " In future there will be no female leaders, there will be just leaders"

7. LEAVING HER OPTIONS OPEN
“I always tell people if you
try to connect the dots of
your career, if you mess it
up you’re going to wind
up on a very limited path.
The reason I don’t have a
plan is because if I have a
plan I’m limited to today’s
options.”- Sandberg

8. NETWORKING
Sheryl Sandberg holds
“Women in Silicon Valley”
events where she invites
dozens of women from all
fields to chat and listen to
great orators. Some of them
are: Geena Davis, Bille Jean
King, Rupert Murdoch, Meg
Whitman and senator Kirsten
Gilibrand.

9. DECISION MAKING
“It was this overt gesture, like, ‘O.K.,
let your guard down. I’m not going to
hole up with Mark. I’m going to try to
have a relationship with you guys.’”
said Chris Cox, Facebook’s VP.
“I got around the room and ask
people, what do you think?”
Sandberg told the NY Times about
welcoming debate on revenue and
advertising.
The year she started working
Facebook agreed to rely on
advertising. By 2010, the company
was making billions.

10. INSISTENCE
When Sandberg was working in
World Bank then chief economist
Larry Summers-- who was also
her old Harvard Professor– asked
her a question on Russia’s
economy. Instead of heading to
the library Sandberg called
Richard Pipes, a leading historian
on Russian Revolution and
Harvard Professor. “She engaged
him for 1 hour and took detailed
notes.”– Summers told to NY
Times.

11. INTERACTION SKILLS
“Sandberg is known to pull people
aside and tell them exactly what is
expected of them.”– Facebook’s VP
of engineering Mike Schroepfer.
Her social skills have also helped
Facebook to land coveted talent.
For example she called Microsoft’s
Carolyn Everson from her car, from
her home and from vacation in
Mexico. Everson is now head of
sales at Facebook.

12. HONEST SPEAKER
“She’ll say not what you want to here
but what will help you the most, even
if it means you’ll be upset at her, She’s
willing to take risk, incur pain, in the
interest of helping other people”–
Sheryl’s sister Michelle told Vogue.
The characteristic is what attracted
Mark Zucherberg first. “it was
immediately clear from the crispness
of her answers and the intensity she
had what she talked that she want the
kind of a person who could do this”–
Mark told NY Times.

13. NEVER AFRAID OF SHOWING
EMOTIONS
“I’ve cried at work”- Sandberg told
Businessweek. “I’ve cried to Mark. He
was great. He was like, ‘do you want a
hug? Are you O.K.?’”
Her Facebook colleagues say they like
her “deftness with the subtle form of
persuasion known as soft power.”
“I can say very simply I have never seen
anyone with her combination of
infectious, enthusiastic spirit combined
with extraordinary intelligence.”–
Facebook Board member Jim Bayer
told Businessweek.

14. INSPIRING
“Let the barriers you face,-- and
there will be barriers– be external
not internal. I promise that you will
never know what you are capable of
unless you try.”- Commencement
speech at Barnard College.
“They could really see themselves in
her, rather than what you usually see
at commencements, which is twenty-
two-year-olds looking at sixty-two-
year-olds but not making any
connection.” Barnard President
Debora Spar told the New Yorker.

will be no
female leaders,
there will just
be leaders.
