FaceBook’s Sheryl Sandberg: A Work-Life Balance Rock Star!

April 27, 2012 by City Dads Group

Working parents, do you leave work at 5:30pm everyday to be home for dinner with your family?  How about once a week?
Unfortunately, in our household, my wife gets home from work about 6:45/7pm, and usually misses having dinner with my son & I.  I wish weekdays were more like the weekends, when we always have dinner together as a family, not only because research has shown that children are happier, healthier, and better performing students when they eat with their families…but, because I enjoy that family bonding experience.
Bottom line: I am sure millions of parents out there want the same thing that I want – dinner together as a family unit as often and consistently as possible.  How will that happen?  In our competitive & cutthroat business environment, we need more business leaders like Facebook COO, Sheryl Sandberg, to publicly lead by example, and send a clear message to their employees that they shouldn’t have to sneak out of work to get home for dinner, instead, emphasizing it’s an important thing to do.


Sheryl Sandberg: Leaving Work At 5:30pm

Sandberg states, “I am leaving work at 5:30!” (and you should too) publicly and she hopes that other moms and DADS feel comfortable going home to see their kids.  Hat tip to Sheryl Sandberg!
