Bloomberg Businessweek posted an interesting video featuring Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook, Inc. talking about how women don’t identify themselves as “ambitious” and don’t seek leadership roles in business organizations. Check it out here.

Part of it is that women still take on the lion’s share of work at home, even when they work full-time outside the home as well.
