What the well-dressed woman is thinking - fashion magazines; In Defense of Elegance - Cover Story

National Review, Oct 28, 1996 by Lisa Schiffren

Elle's deputy editor, Elaina Richardson, says the magazine wants to offer readers political pieces that point up larger issues in society, regardless of ideological slant. She mentioned a largely sympathetic profile of Eloise Anderson, the very tough-minded black woman who is in charge of reforming California's welfare system for Gov. Pete Wilson. Miss Anderson is an advocate of tough love, no coddling of wayward girls, and genuinely stringent reform. So I was interested in how the story evolved.

''I saw her speak at a Manhattan Institute lunch,'' Miss Richardson explained. ''She was just amazing.''

Fashion editors at conservative think-tank policy lunches? What next? If fashionable women are thinking conservative thoughts, it's time for this conservative woman to acquire some fashionable clothes. See you at Saks.

In its purest form, office politics is simply about getting from here to there: securing a promotion, seeing an idea come to fruition, or gaining support to make an organizational change. Playing the game well is about defending your position, earning respect, exchanging favors, and keeping your sanity amid the chaos. To get started, you need to know what you really want from work, then orient your political moves toward those goals. It all starts with strong relationships and helping others; those people in return make up the support system that helps you realize your goals. Here’s how it’s done.
