《[书评] 《进取》(Lean In) 谢莉尔 桑德伯格(Sheryl Sandberg)》.pdf

Yes, You Can By ANNE-MARIE SLAUGHTER April 02, 2013 是的，你能 When I was an assistant professor at the University of Chicago Law School in the early ’90s, I tried to explain to a prominent senior colleague why I had not yet managed to write one of the 10 or so articles required to get tenure in three years. He listened to me, then said, “Journals don’t publish excuses.” 20世纪 90 年代初，我在芝加哥大学法学院当助理教授的时候，需要在三年时间 内 完成大约10篇 论文，才能获得 长期职位，但 当时我连 一篇都还没有写 。我试 图跟一位很有名望的 资深同事解释其中缘由，他听完后说 ：“杂 志只会发表论文， 不会发表借口。” Facebook首席运营官谢莉 尔·桑德伯格，最近出版《进取》一书 。 It’s a lesson that comes through loud and clear in Sheryl Sandberg’s new book, “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead.” Her point, in a nutshell, is that notwithstanding the many gender biases that still operate all over the workplace, excuses and justifications won’t get women anywhere.

Sandberg has been the chief operating offi
