Sheryl Sandberg – great woman!

Sometimes I get a bit irritated because I seem to get more impressed by men in business life, than women. I think it can be good to have persons to think of like role models. Persons that with their actions show that amazing things can be done. But, most of the time the persons that impress on me are men.

I have a book filled with Swedish Business women, which I bought in order to get inspired, but, I can’t really identify with these women. They are not like me. They feel like strangers.

Today I’ve read this six pages long article in Bloomberg Businessweek about Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and I felt happy. At last a successful business woman with features that I can identify with! I love to read that she manages to treat people well, be smart and come up with good ideas, achieve important things and at the same time stay true to herself and the fact that she’s not afraid to show that she’s a human being like the rest of us. Well, I haven’t had the opportunity to meet her or communicate in some other way with her, so I might find out that the impression I got from that article will fall apart if I met her. But until then: what an amazing woman!
