The story that Sandberg shares about Virginia Rometty, IBM’s first female CEO, and the “big job” she was offered early in her career highlights the murky examples of how women should behave in the workplace that permeate “Lean In.” Rometty worried that she lacked the experience and skills the new position would require. After asking the recruiter for time to think about it, her husband asked her, “Do you think a man would have ever answered that question that way?” When reading the comment, one must ask what is the intention of including such an example in a missive for women on how to maneuver in their careers? Being reflective, seeking out wise counsel and considering options is not only a personal practice that should be utilized before making any life change, it is a mature, responsible act that all employers should hope their workers and soon-to-be-workers put into practice—male or female.
