Since the beginning of time men have always been known to hold all of the leadership positions in any establishment. From being the leader of the house to running the country. There is no surprise why in today's society women tend to fall back and let men run things. There are less women who will step up to make a change. When in an office or corporate  building women tend to get the secretary job and take calls where as the men will get the job of going to meetings and sending their new pitch to the board. Men gave always shot for the highest position that they could achieve.

In this video Sheryl Sandberg gives many views on her thought of women in corporate. She tells us that women have to face harder decisions between their personal and professional life. Two thirds of men at the top in business have children whereas only a third of women have children. She states that being a mother makes it harder for women because of that strong emotional level that women have towards there personal life over their professional. Also women tend to let the man do the speaking because they feel less confident in their own ability. They have been known to underestimate what they can do and give more credit to others. Men reach out more for their success while women wait for things to be presented to them. Women have three times the amount of work than men if they have a child. Due to this high amount of stress and lack of time it is most likely the women who will drop out of work and become a stay at home mom.

The glass ceiling is a social theory that says women can't rise higher than a certain level in management in corporate business. "The highest ranking women in most industries are in non-operating areas such as personnel, public relations, or, occasionally, finance specialties that seldom lead to the most powerful top-management posts." Women are locked out of jobs in the "business mainstream," the route taken by most CEOs and Presidents. Even when women can get a job higher up than usual it usually doesn't carry weight or mean that much in the success of the business. It will rarely be a job that will market them as "leaders." This barrier has been evident since the earlier signs of sexism in the 1960s and the laws passed to destroy sexism had little effect on this invisible barrier.

Women in today's society have view as being in capable of holding a powerful position in the corporate world. Men control most of the higher positions and leave women to be stuck at a desk taking calls or having "busy work." Considering women usually can not work long hours because of duties at home that limits there chances of higher pay and other benefits whereas a man can work as long as needed and not have to worry about coming home having to cook, clean, or take care of kids.
