[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we need more Sheryl Sandbergs in this world, from all backgrounds. And we all need to look for them and lift them up. What is the point in tearing her down if she's sharing her truth? If it doesn't resonate with you, change the channel or pick up another book.

I don't think we need more Sheryl Sandbergs.  Do we want young women to seek out their "daddy/mentor", like she did. Decrepit old Larry Summers, president of Harvard couldn't resist helping this bright young thing, a Harvard student, mentoring her out of the goodness of his heart. If Sheryl clawed her way up without Lar Bear, I would respect her.  She's a fraud and she will damage FB before it's over.[/quote]

What are you talking about?  She was a summa cum laude Harvard graduate, a Harvard MBA, and in addition to the time she spent working with Larry Summers at Treasury, she was a senior manager at Google before going to Facebook.  For someone to attribute her success to a "daddy/mentor" is sad.  [/quote]

No She met Lar Bear at Harvard, he was her professor and her took her under his wing.[/quote]

You have a crazy grudge against this woman. Do you know her personally?[/quote]

+1  Having a mentor doesn't get you summa cum laude status at Harvard (I'll wait for the crazy grudge poster to argue that Larry Summers paid off each Harvard professor so she would get a 3.9 GPA) nor does it get you a senior position at Google.  [/quote]

Of course he didn't help her get good grades. She is clearly capable though there are many people like that who accomplished nowhere close to her success. Summers helped her a lot when she was young - he helped her get internships, surely wrote ref letters for business school then got her a job st treasury. At that point she didn't need any more help.[/quote]
