Sheryl clarifies that women are MAKING the choices that are limiting our numbers at the top. Not boards or investors or even husbands as one commenter suggested.Sheryl does not criticize us for making those choices, she encourages us to revel in the fact that those that came before fought hard so we CAN make those choices today. But Sheryl does ask us to consider making those choices with ALL the facts before us. She challenges women to understand our base nature, understand how society reacts to (or fails to react to) how women approach careers, opportunities and the pressure of societal "norms".–Jennifer Casanova

I don't think that the answer to getting more women in top positions a question of raising the self-esteem of women or "having them sit at the table." We need to change the climate of business and politics not change the individual. The values, perspectives and thought processes of women are not valued in the business/political world. The behaviours Ms. Sandburg was listing that she thought needed to change: humility, cooperation, collaboration, hard work, these are values - attributes that should be cultivated. Not grandiosity! -Melissa Vennel

I don't think you can be a C-level man or woman and really give your child the attention that they should have as they grow up. She does admit she doesn't have it right herself which is true. Not sure anyone would have it right, which is why traditionally the person most closely associated with the child (the mother) has taken the child-bearing role. -David Hale
