The 50 most powerful women in American business are profiled in Fortune magazine’s
Oct. 12 issue, which hits newsstands today, and among those featured are two figures from the ad world.
Ogilvy & Mather chief executive Shelly Lazarus, 51, is ranked fourth, although she told the magazine, “I don’t feel powerful.” Lazarus also talks of the differences between women and men. “Men like to issue orders,” she told Fortune. “They like to feel powerful.
