In her chapter ��Seek and Speak Your Truth,�� Sandberg discusses the conflict women often face at work in the expectation of managing a professional self. Sandberg asserts that the idea of having a dual identity inside of work vs. who you are on the weekends is a farce. Instead, she advocates for a more authentic self.

The U.S. Department of Labor apparently agrees with Sandberg �� in Kathy Martinez applauds organizations, like the DOL, that encourage employees to bring their “whole selves�� to the job.

What do you think about the cultural expectation to keep emotions and/or your “whole self�� out of the office? Do you think being more open at work actually leads to a more “authentic self?��

I do think that being more open at work actually leads to a more "authentic self" -- it was refreshing to hear that Colin Powell (and the US DOL!) agree.
