Pitching for equal and fair treatment of women at home and the workplace, Facebook, Chief Operating Officer (COO) said that for any economy to grow and prosper, it was essential that women realize their full potential. Addressing an interactive session of FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO) on 'Lean in: Women, Work and Will to Lead', Sandberg said, “This could be achieved by ensuring equal and fair treatment of women at home and the workplace and attaining more balance at home.” Women, she emphasized, should never underestimate their potential and ability. They should enforce their will and must develop a sense of confidence in themselves. Speaking about breaking stereotypes, Sandberg said that across the globe it was perceived that men are natural leaders and women were there only to help and assist them. Women who are at the helm of their affairs are either considered officious or too aggressive in their approach. This mindset needs to change and a woman should be respected and recognized for her ability.
