Just as important to the creation of a thriving Lord & Taylor is Baker's ability to dive headfirst into the insular fashion world, solicit advice and have people root for his success. He isn't simply a hands-off leader with a big bank account. He's a likable businessman with an artsy streak?a trait not immediately apparent from his unaffected personality. (But visit his home, and you will find priceless Picassos, Chagalls and a James Turrell art-installation pool...
...name on Madison Avenue has become Vera Wang the corporation. Her name is synonymous with fashionable brides' and bridesmaids' dresses. Her evening gowns are red-carpet staples. After an early venture into ready-to-wear proved a critical and commercial disappointment in 2001, she made a risky second dive in with great success?she was named Womenswear Designer of the Year by the CFDA in 2005. She has since launched a younger, secondary line, Lavender, and this fall teams up with Kohl's to launch a mass-market minicollection, Simply Vera. She has two fragrances and a line of diamonds...

They did, the fish came back to the reefs, the local economy flourished and everyone - tourists, residents, and coral ecologists alike - was happy. In cases like these, one hand washes the other, says NOAA's Eakin. "If healthy coral reefs are your bread and butter, you're going...
...Ancona and Bresman have laid out a framework for doing it another way. In X-Teams--their name for groups that get it right--the authors dive into the nitty-gritty details of engineering a better team: how to reach outward, build a support structure, be more flexible and navigate a corporate culture that might be less than enthusiastic about border crossing. They use examples from teams at Microsoft, Motorola, Toyota and Southwest Airlines and describe in depth how a team at Merrill Lynch created a distressed-equities desk that spanned debt and equity--something that had never been done...
