Sandberg, who is one of the most powerful women in Silicon Valley, told a tech audience Wednesday night about a project meeting at Facebook earlier this year, where she opened the meeting by saying she was grateful the company had finally decided to pursue an idea she had long championed. A male manager who also supported the idea was more brash, saying he always knew the others would see the light.
