Presented exclusively on KCET, the program captures the Writers Bloc event at the Writers Guild Theater with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton to discuss her new book Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead detailing women in the workplace, stereotypes and misconceptions.
BURBANK, CALIF. - March 22, 2013 - A new womens movement is underway that is debunking stereotypes and misconceptions about women in the workplace. During a recent Writers Bloc event at the Writers Guild Theater in Los Angeles, Facebooks Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and Sony Entertainment, Inc. CEO Michael Lynton participated in a uplifting discussion about Sandbergs new book, Lean In: Women, Work and Will to Lead. KCETLink produced the taped live event as a special, which premieres on KCET on March 25 at 8 p.m.
Sandberg, one of the countrys most powerful female executives, discussed gender inequalities in the workplace and how many organizations operate through a quiet, unequal policy of access without any realization. She expressed a desire for her children to grow up in a balanced, fair environment where gender stereotypes are not perpetuated at every turn, especially in business. When asked by Lynton if she was a feminist, she countered by saying she would have been insulted by that question 10 years ago because feminists dont get dates, but now argues that feminists get the right dates.
A conversational interview, Lynton and Sandberg rallied back and forth about how different Fortune 500 companies would be if women were at the helm. They also discussed the importance of mentorship and sponsorship from accomplished industry predecessors in an effort to learn and achieve success in business, in addition to family and workplace support. According to Sandberg, for women, its not about having or doing it all; its about achieving goals, embracing challenges and finding a balance.
Were pleased to bring this powerful discussion to our viewers with two of the countrys most influential business leaders, said Bohdan Zachary, Vice President, Broadcast, Syndication & Production for newly formed KCETLink. Through this series, we remain committed to providing quality, substantive programming that resonates with our diverse viewership.
