It’s a business of sadists and masochists and you know which one you are.

Mad Men Monday Moment

Our favorite lines from last night's episode The Summer Man:

I was blind and now I see.
Mrs. Blankenship

People tell you who they are and we ignore it because we want them to be who we want them to be.
Don

It’s a very brave person who does something anonymously.
Joan

You want some respect, go out there and get it for yourself.
Don

You want to be a big shot. Well no matter how powerful we get around here, they can still just draw a cartoon.
Joan

We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.
Don

Kindness, gentleness and persuasion wins where force fails.

Well, it’s not my fault you don’t have a family or friends or nowhere else to go.

That’s the way it works, there are no credits on commercials. ...I give you money, you give me ideas.

LGK's Fall Color Trends: Silver, Oyster, Slate and Other Shades of Gray

Eliminating Black-and-White Thinking Increases the Spectrum of Opportunities
by Leisa Chester Weir

In the design and fashion world, gray is this season’s color of choice. Whether it’s upholstery or fabric, nail polish or eye shadow, chairs or tables, paint or wallpaper, Crate and Barrel or Sephora, gray has gradually found its way into the American psyche.

Perhaps it is time for more managers to embrace the shades-of-gray thinking. What does this mean? Clients are not always this way or never that way – as much as Mad Men’s Roger Sterling may disagree. Situations do not have to be either/or opposites. Staff members are not perfect or horrible. Evaluations and ideas do not have to be passing or failing. Statements can be true and false, depending on the circumstances.

Here are a couple of reasons to think gray:

• There are more options for solutions when you can delve into the entire rainbow of possibilities.

• It allows creativity to open up and flow in all directions and not just to the two opposing sides.
