Recently, I see a few articles per week about shortcomings of Sheryl Sandberg. What bewildered me is that I don’t see as much criticism about the #1 executive, the male CEO & Founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg. He’s treated like a passive Chairman of Facebook at this critical times rather than the active CEO to whom Sheryl reports. Rather than everyone focuses on the right issues, which are the technical, security, and communication problems at Facebook, they are mistakenly making the recent Facebook events about a Female Leader failure!!! Would we have the same coverages and bashing if Sheryl was Sean Sandberg! I strongly doubt... I’m sure that Sheryl made some mistakes along the way, but I can guarantee every single male and female executives make many mistakes over decades of running companies. I can’t help but highlight that “these high power women” who take on tough roles get “substantially unproportionate fair share of blames” when things go wrong. We saw this in terms of Marrisa Mayer and we are seeing it with Sheryl Sandberg. I really want to invite everyone from reporters to regulators to focus on the right problems and keeping the CEO more accountable or at least as equally responsible as other executives. #leadership #femaleleadership #femaleexcutive #facebook
