Who is Miranda Priestly?
In The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly is portrayed
as cruel, cutthroat and mercurial boss. Priestly successfully
spearheads the premier womens magazine portrayed in
the film, manages an entire staff and is completely
dedicated to her job. Though her methods may be
unconventional and, yes, at times brusque, you cannot
argue that Priestly consistently delivers as an invaluable
Editor-in-Chief.
Miranda is a Boss, not a B***t*h
1. She holds high standards and pushes her employees to meet them
2. Shes direct about what she needs done
3. Shes earned her respect and reputation
4. Miranda acts as a mentor
5. She separates her personal and work life

leader?
