When Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg encouraged women to fully realize their power in her bestselling book "Lean In," females across America perked up and listened. But part of the philosophy didn't sit well with Sabrina Parsons, the CEO of Palo Alto Software.
Parsons saw an interview with Sandberg in which she said that because she's a mother, she liked to leave work promptly at 5 p.m. to see her children, but she would take steps to hide her absence from her colleagues.
"That's exactly what I think we need to change. Why do we have to hide that?" Parsons told HuffPost Live. "[Sandberg is] clearly a super successful, very productive, exceptional woman in the workplace. Why did she feel like for so many years she had to pretend she was in the office when she wasn't?"
Parsons, who says she often brings her children to work with her, wrote about her issue with the "Lean In" ideals in a piece for Business insider. Hear more about her ideas of what a modern working woman should be in the clip above.
