1. Have impact
In 1987 Sandberg enrolled at Harvard College. She graduated in 1991 summa cum laude with a B.A. in economics and was awarded the John H. Williams Prize for the top graduating student in economics.

2. Think big
While at Harvard, she co-founded an organization called Women in Economics and Government.

3. Go for growth
In March 2008, Facebook announced hiring Sheryl Sandberg away from Google for the role of COO.

4. Communicate authentically
After joining the company, Sandberg quickly began trying to figure out how to make Facebook profitable. Before she joined, the company was "primarily interested in building a really cool site; profits, they assumed, would follow."

5. Hire big
In 2009 Sandberg was named to the board of The Walt Disney Company. She also serves on the boards of Women for Women International, the Center for Global Development and V-Day.

6. Don't just talk, really listen!
On March 11, 2013 Sandberg released her first book, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead. It is about business leadership and development, issues with the lack of women in government and business leadership positions, and feminism.

7. Take responsibility
In 2012 she was named in the Time 100, an annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world according to Time magazine.

8. Measure results, not face time
In June 2012, she was elected to the board of directors by the existing board members, becoming the first woman to serve on Facebook's board.

9. Find something you really believe in
Before she joined Facebook as its COO, Sandberg was Vice President of Global Online Sales and Operations at Google and was involved in launching Google's philanthropic arm Google.org.

10. Careers are not ladders, but jungle gyms
Before Google, Sandberg served as chief of staff for the United States Secretary of the Treasury.

she's an American technology executive
activist and author
she's the chief operating officer of
facebook her estimated net worth is
reported to be over 1 billion dollars
she's Sheryl Sandberg and hear her top
ten rules for success and so I thought
about you know what I wanted to say what
would I pass on if you are trying to be
an entrepreneur if you're trying to be a
leader and I think if you're trying to
be those things
what you're really trying to do at a
fundamental level is have impact
you're trying to have impact you're
trying to have the things you do the
things that you spend your time doing
have impact meeting change something
around the world and for me I think the
lesson is really simple and it's
particularly important in the era in
which we live and for me the industry in
which I work which is that this is all
about scale
it's all about scale having impact is
all about how you do something that
scales and by scale I mean things that
can have broad impact potentially things
that have decreasing marginal cost
things that can scale beyond the
one-to-one interaction you have as a
person
the most important thing about growing a
business successfully is thinking ahead
about where you're gonna be so I think
about like the three tips you have for
scaling an organization the first I
think the most important is to think big
people think about how do you manage how
do you move it
station and I think about management you
know basically the science of
administering a business or leadership
my favorite definition of leadership is
the art of accomplishing more than the
science of management says is possible
when you have a big vision when you're
thinking really big something that can
change the world so my favorite example
connecting the world which was Mark
Zuckerberg his vision for facebook
that's the kind of thing that excites
people and motivates them that gets them
to follow you
not just because they work for you and
they need to do what you say
well because they believe in what you're
trying to do and when you try to really
scale an organization
you need to go really quickly and get
people to accomplish more than they
thought was possible and I think that
comes from internal motivation which
really comes from a vision that's big
enough
I think the most common mistake I see
people make and then make this mistake -
but women do do a lot
is there too worried about the upward
trajectory and not worried enough about
growth
so the two corporate jobs I've taken i
went from Treasury to google and i went
from google to Facebook had one thing in
common which is that they were more
junior other people's words not mine and
other jobs i was offered when I went to
Google was like 250 people i was going
to be a business unit general manager
except there were no business unit Susan
Wojcicki is here she helped recruit me
but this was the non job of all time
I mean there is no job there and i was
offered like senior sounding see more
senior roles and more established
companies but I really believed in what
Google is doing and Eric Schmidt gave me
great career advice he said go for
growth growth moves everyone up it was
growing it works and so I went to a
smaller company with a very more junior
less defined job you know when I came
out of google it it seems obvious now to
come to facebook but at the time a lot
of people ask me right you remember this
what are you doing you're going to work
for a 23 year old you know
no one knows of Facebook's going to be
the next you know MySpace or Friendster
like and you're not CEO you can bc of
somewhere else and what I saw was
something that mattered facebook matter
of the authentic identity
and an opportunity for growth and so in
each stage I've cared less about my
level
I kind of think it's silly then i have
about the underlying growth and I do
think this is really important for
everyone to know how do you communicate
authentically how do you figure out what
to say and what not to say in a way
that's authentic and what Fred says and
I really believe this is true is it
starts from the fundamental
understanding that there is no truth
there's my truth is your true that
everything is subjective and so if you
always start from the position of this
is what I believe I don't expect you to
believe it i don't think you have to
believe it i'm not saying it's true you
can actually always communicate
authentically because if you walk in the
room and this gets worse as you get more
senior
here's the answer you're not giving
anyone else any room to say anything and
if you walk in the room and say I
believe this
for this reason what do you believe
if you share your truth in that language
you give people room to authenticate to
communicate authentically and that is
hugely important to these relationships
at any stage
I think the second thing is you have to
hire big and big
I don't need famous I mean ahead of
where you are so when you're growing
organization really quickly
what happens is that what normally takes
an organization years happens in a
period of just months
so when I was at Google you know my team
went from four to four thousand in about
five years
that means that if you look at those
first four people I higher in order for
them to be part of the people who were
running that organization they need to
do about you know 10 or 15 years worth
of crowing and you know getting
experience in a much shorter period of
time so if you think you're gonna grow
quickly higher for what you think you're
going to need / hire hire people who are
more qualified have more experience or
hire people who are right out of school
but can / achieve in their current roles
I hope they get that number of years in
the workforce that matters
I think it's hiring the people that
you're going to need then now because
then happen so quickly
I really believe we'd best when we walk
side by side with our colleagues and to
achieve this
you're going to have to do the opposite
of what i'm doing right now you're going
to have to not just talked to really
listen and you have to go one step
further
which is not just listen but find a way
to get people to actually tell you the
truth
there is no such thing as complete
control
nothing no one has complete control in
any situation people that leading
organizations in some ways have less
because not only do they have to control
what they do they have to help persuade
everyone else
what they do but you know if you are
able to take responsibility
I'm not late because there was traffic
I'm late because I didn't leave early
enough to account for the fact that
there was traffic
the project didn't get finished not
because my friend my partner didn't do
it
my colleague didn't do his part the
thought the project and get finished
because i didn't set up a team where my
colleague wanted to do his part when you
take responsibility and you take full
responsibility
that is the most empowering thing and
you can do it at any stage you have to
do it if you're raising money as an
entrepreneur you have to do it if you
are if you're trying to persuade people
to work with you
you have to do it at all stages one of
the things I talk about in my book is
the importance of measuring results not
face time
if you as a company measure face time
you will be rewarded with facetime
if you talk about the people who are
working really hard rather than the
people who are getting great results
people will work really hard but not
focus on results in my job at Facebook
Mark and I try to run the company very
focused on results
we had one employee actually for a while
who famously was one of our absolutely
highest performers but just in like to
be in the office very much at all and we
would publicly applaud him
you know no one's seen sure mas in a
week but look what's happening and we
were publicly saying his results were
amazing if he feels like doing it you
know sitting in his basement go ahead
now not every company can do that
different companies have different
constraints but many more companies can
do this
the best kind of leadership starts by
finding something you really believe in
face book exists because Mark Zuckerberg
believed that the world would be a
better place if we all use technology to
share and connect
he believed in that enough to drop out
of school at 19 and he believed in it
enough to hang on to that vision and
hold on to it
even when people tried to take it away
from him over the years i joined
facebook
along with so many others because I to
believe in that vision and now it's the
most important part of my job to keep
myself and everyone else at Facebook
maniacally focused on what we are trying
to do day in and day out
so start start by finding a company you
believe in a product you love something
of cause you really really care about
because not just not only will you
inspire yourself will you be inspired
but you in turn will inspire others
and that's the most critical part of
great leadership all organizations have
some form of hierarchy people in
organizations if you're their manager
will do what you tell them to do even in
facebook at least some of the time but
great leaders don't want compliance they
don't want people to follow orders
great leaders want real excitement
genuine enthusiasm real commitment
great leaders don't just when the minds
of their team they win their hearts
great leaders don't just issue commands
to heat the voices of those around them
careers are not ladders those days are
long gone but jungle jims don't just
move up and down
don't just look up look backward
sideways around corners your career and
your life will have starts and stops and
cigs and DAGs don't stress out about the
white space
the path you can't draw because there in
lies both the surprises and the
opportunities
thank you so much for watching i made
