Sheryl Sandberg plunged from global icon to just another executive

I mean if she left Facebook she'd could probably be a VC or something in the tech world... or maybe at a global nonprofit.. she'd be a top pick for a high profile government or academic appointment.

Overall, it'd probably be better for her brand to separate from Facebook. The constant negative news around Facebook and the upcoming 2020 election doesn't help things. Right now the news cycle might attribute a lot of FB issues to her though if she left so that would need to be managed...

Also, the #LeanIn movement also has some legitimate criticisms. So there's some legit hard work to do expanding her brand/movement to encompass all women.

It feels like this article is trying to create a narrative based on the authors agenda. As if to say, if we can’t get Facebook to change let’s attack the reputations of the executives.

Maybe because of this --> Sandberg may no longer be the female icon she once was to the outside world, but she remains the second-most powerful executive
