Recommendation

Is it okay to cry at work? Sheryl Sandberg has famously said yes, and in her book, Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy, she argues that workplaces should make room for even the most difficult emotions. Personal sharing boosts the bottom line, Sandberg says, forging bonds of trust between co-workers and customers and enhancing leaders’ soft power. Bloomberg News journalist Sarah Frier traces Sandberg’s rise from Google exec to globally influential workplace “culture shifter,” explaining how Facebook’s COO has come to embody the company’s mission “to make the world more open and connected.” getAbstract recommends this article to leaders, female professionals and anyone who wonders if emotions belong in the workplace.
