When you walk through Palo Alto in the evening, you see nothing but the blue glow of TVs. In Cambridge you see shelves full of promising-looking books. Palo Alto was probably much like Cambridge in 1960, but you’d never guess now that there was a university nearby. Now it’s just one of the richer neighborhoods in Silicon Valley…</p> <p>…Cambridge with good weather, it turns out, is not Cambridge. The people you find in Cambridge are not there by accident. You have to make sacrifices to live there. It’s expensive and somewhat grubby, and the weather’s often bad.

And she called me and said, I want to talk with you about coming to work with you at Facebook. So I thought about calling you, she said, and telling you all the things I’m good at and all the things I like to do. But I figured that everyone is doing that. So instead I want to know what’s your biggest problem and how can I solve it. My jaw hit the floor. I’d hired thousands of people up to that point in my career, but no one had ever said anything like that. I had never said anything like that. Job searches are always about the job searcher, but not in Laurie’s case. I said, you’re hired. My biggest problem is recruiting and you can solve it. So Lori changed fields into something she never thought she’d do, went down a level to start in a new field and has since been promoted and runs all of the people operations at Facebook and has done an extraordinary job.”<br/><br/> - <em><p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/sheryl-sandbergs-full-hbs-speech-get-on-a-rocketship-whenever-you-get-the-chance-2012-5">Sheryl Sandberg at HBS 2012</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/sheryl-sandbergs-full-hbs-speech-get-on-a-rocketship-whenever-you-get-the-chance-2012-5"> </a></p></em>http://blog.crystalmao.com/post/42078828295http://blog.crystalmao.com/post/42078828295Sat, 02 Feb 2013 00:03:00 -0500gogogo<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/dcd0fa2a4d223c0231613414843c16f4/tumblr_mhkgykAcPg1rrtyplo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>redefining the lawyerly workplace. #tumblr (at Tumblr)</p>http://blog.crystalmao.com/post/42058443945http://blog.crystalmao.com/post/42058443945Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:20:44 -0500tumblr<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/351c4b921361da12f4cba6a54e9e3a0c/tumblr_mh060cK2w11rrtyplo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>shards from a wooden church #corneliaparker</p>http://blog.crystalmao.com/post/41154454307http://blog.crystalmao.com/post/41154454307Mon, 21 Jan 2013 20:12:11 -0500corneliaparker
