“if networks of women are formed, they should be job related and task related rather than female-concerns related. Personal networks for sociability in the context of a work organization would tend to promote the image of women contained in the temperamental model - that companies must compensate for women's deficiencies and bring them together for support because they could not make it on their own. But job-related task forces serve the social-psychological functions while reinforcing a more positive image of women.” IfsShouldTogetherJobsForceSocialCompanySupportModelsConcernFemaleTasksOrganizationFunctionPsychologicalRelatedDeficiencySociabilityTask ForcesPositive Image Author:Rosabeth Moss Kanter

“To me, the print business model is so simple, where readers pay a dollar for all the content within, and that supports the enterprise.

“A girl's career today doesn't have the same kind of life span, whereas it used to be a collaboration and a partnership and it continued. Peter Lindbergh still uses girls - like, look at Amber Valetta - so there are some photographers that have relationships long-term with models. I also think that the industry can't support the amount of models that exist right now and therefore the relationships between photographers and models and even the clients is short lived.” ThinkingLooksKindLongStillsUseTodayUsedGirlTermCareersSupportIndustryAmountRight NowModelsPhotographerUsed To BeLong TermCollaborationPeterPartnershipClientsAmberShort LivedLife Span Author:Michael Flutie

“I find that it's almost essential to fall in love with an idea to invest the time it takes to make it good and worth sharing. And then, the hard part: deleting that idea when it's just not what it could be. Too often, organizations are good at the first part, but struggle with the second.

“Poverty is about low, self-esteem and a lack of role models and opportunities. Without money, people resort to de-dignifying activities in order to support themselves.

“There are some political issues where mainstream press attention only hurts.
