MHA 542 Week 5 Discussion

Respond with a substantial post.

So we leaned in, now what?

Sheryl Sandberg admits she was terrified to step onto the TED stage in 2010 — because she was going to talk, for the first time, about the lonely experience of being a woman in the top tiers of business. Millions of views (and a best-selling book) later, the Facebook COO talks with the woman who pushed her to give that first talk, Pat Mitchell. Sandberg opens up about the reaction to her idea, and explores the ways that women still struggle with success.

Women in leadership.

Sandberg has long been an advocate for gender equity and stating that women are excluded from leadership positions for various reasons.

After watching this video, why do you think it so important, or not, that leadership be inclusive? Do we have the correct leaders in place in healthcare or are we excluding 50% of the population in key leadership positions?
