"  By now, you&amp;#039;ve probably heard about Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg&amp;#039;s monumental new book Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead\u2014and if you haven&amp;#039;t, you best be getting yourself a copy\u2014stat!  Sandberg is spearheading a movement to encourage women to be more ambitious in the workplace\u2014and we&amp;#039;re stoked to have her as the guest editor of our first-ever Cosmo Careers mini mag. But while her message is inspiring women, it&amp;#039;s also reaching another key audience: Men. In an internal memo, which was posted on All Things Digital, Cisco&amp;#039;s CEO John Chambers says that meeting Sandberg showed him just how much more his company could be doing to make the workplace a more equal playing field\u2014and he&amp;#039;s asking his leaders to do a little leaning in of their own to come up with new women-focused initiatives.  &amp;quot;While I have always considered myself sensitive to and effective on gender issues in the workplace, my eyes were opened in new ways and I feel a renewed sense of urgency to make the progress we haven&amp;#039;t made in the last decade,&amp;quot; wrote Chambers. &amp;quot;After reading Lean In and listening to Sheryl, I realize that, while I believe I am relatively enlightened, I have not consistently walked the talk...&amp;quot; Pretty strong words, wouldn&amp;#039;t you say? We&amp;#039;re excited to see Sandberg and her important message really making an impact. Maybe soon we&amp;#039;ll be able to take phrase &amp;quot;glass ceiling&amp;quot; permanently out of our vocabulary\u2014because that thing will be completely freakin&amp;#039; smashed.
