just saw on amazon this new book coming oujt in february on vogue editor
aznna wintour. should be juicy. here's from amazon:
She's ambitious. She's a perfectionist. She's insecure and needy. But most
of all she's extremely successful. She's Anna Wintour, editor–in–chief of
Vogue, the most powerful arbiter of fashion and style in the world. This is
the inside story of the public and private worlds of the enigmatic icon
often hidden behind dark sunglasses and under the fringe of a Louise Brooks
bob, a style she's been wearing since she was a teenager obsessed with
fashion in "Swinging Sixties" London. A dropout at 16 from a tiny private
school, Anna Wintour grew up in a home dominated by a powerful and icy
British newspaper editor father and a cold and critical American heiress
mother who had a scandalous marriage. Anna Wintour has been called many
things over the years: "Nuclear Wintour" by her fearful subordinates at
British Vogue, "cold, suspicious and autocratic, a vision of skinniness" by
Grace Mirabella, the editor–in–chief whose job she grabbed at American
Vogue, and "The Devil" in a recent bestselling roman a clef, written by
Wintour's assistant. In her mid–fifties, nearing her second remarkable
decade at the helm of Vogue, her story is part Cinderella, part Horatio
Alger: an ambitious fashionista arrives here – from London in the mid 70s
and fights her way to the top of the bitchy and very competitive fashion
magazine world, artfully rafting and reinventing herself along the way.
Front Row is also the scrupulously researched story of this ingular woman's
personal passions and needs, of her loves lost and won, of her battles and
feuds, and of her incredible achievements.

Isn't it interesting how people react to and write about ambitious
successful women? They make such a big to–do about how ambitious,
focused, "cold" and stubborn she is. You can say the same (and even
worese) about more than dozen male CEOs around the world (example, the
guys who ran Enron, WorldCom, Qwest and all of these companies that
cheated their employees and shareholders of billions): ambitious,
perfectionist, nasty, greedy. One thing Nuclear Wintour can't be accused
of is bilking shareholders and pension funds of billions of dollars.
I'll take Anna over these guys.

OTOH, the business press tends to write a lot about what I would call
"warm and fuzzy" (people–oriented, but still goal–driven) male CEOs.
FWIW: Another source of interesting people dynamics is the
great–grandchildren of Henry Ford. One writer commented that if she
would have been born a bit later and/or pushed a bit harder, Charlotte
Ford might have been chairman of the company instead of Billy. On the
other hand... it's not cousin Edsel.
As Henry II learned: Never let them name a product after your dead
father, despite the fact he was quite honored in Detroit society.
