The article was also about "Lean in culture". I'm sorry, but that's different from the book. The book has spurned something completely ridiculous. It's the reason why, when I wanted to take a break from work for a while, my colleagues said to me, "But you've got to lean in!" That's so obnoxious.

People often take a shallow understanding of a nuanced concept and build a culture around that shallow understanding. You're seeing that with "lean in" just as we've seen it with "lean software development" or "agile".

Sigh.

I think you meant to say "spurred". Critical word-choice distinction.
