It's relatively simple. If we're not getting more, better, faster than they are getting more, better, faster, then we're getting less, no better or more worse.

More quotes by Tom Peters
Integrity may be about little things as much or more than big ones.
Tom Peters
The principal reason, invariably, most successful giant companies rather quickly become also-rans, or just amorphous blobs on the competitive landscape, is their failure to re-tool in anything like a fundamental way. In fact, the worse things get, typically, the more they dig in their heels and defend yesterday's turf.
Tom Peters
Formula for success: Underpromise and overachieve.
Tom Peters
As far as I'm concerned, the first business leader who was able to establish a cult of personality around his tenure was Lee Iacocca.
Tom Peters
Screw-ups are the mark of excellence.
Tom Peters
Business, life itself, is damned hard work if you wanna be good at it. Actually, that's precisely wrong. Business ceases to be work when you're chasing a dream that has engorged you. (Work should be more fun than fun - Noel Coward.) And if the passion isn't there. then biotech and plumbing will be equal drags.

Obviously, despite hard work and heroic efforts, many dreams don't come true. But if we don't dare to dream and then throw muscle, heart, and soul into making the dream come true, then WoW Projects-and all of the emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and financial riches that they bring will surely NOT be our lot in life!

Power lies in the details, and the tenacious pursuit of such hidden levers can pay off enormously. While you don't want to get a reputation as a prissy worrywart, worrying about the details in private is important. You may think you are the world's greatest speaker, but if the auditorium's sound system is singing static - well, forget it.
Tom Peters
Regardless of age, regardless of position, regardless of the business we happen to be in, all of us need to understand the importance of branding. We are CEOs of our own companies: Me, Inc. To be in business today, our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called You.
Tom Peters
Forget all the conventional 'rules' but one. There is one golden rule: Stick to topics you deeply care about and don't keep your passion buttoned inside your vest. An audience's biggest turn-on is the speaker's obvious enthusiasm. If you are lukewarm about the issue, forget it!
Tom Peters
I would not be surprised to see interesting new forms of expression and literary genres develop as the e-book movement matures.
Tom Peters
The unthinkable is thinkable. No: likely.
Tom Peters
It doesn't matter what product or service you're offering there is unlimited ability to improve the quality of anything.
Tom Peters
What is my personal strategy for the next 10 hours? Who can I talk with or what can I volunteer for to learn something new?
Tom Peters
The race will go to the curious, the slightly mad, and those with an un-satiated passion for learning and dare-deviltry.
Tom Peters
Progress is mostly the product of rogues.
Tom Peters
Collections of books and other documents, either printed or electronic, are a form of congregation.
Tom Peters
He who makes the quickest, coolest prototypes reigns!
Tom Peters
What gets measured gets done.
Tom Peters
Books were rare,expensive, time-consuming to create and copy, and difficult to transport. That is why collections ofprint-based books developed around centers of religious belief, learning, and wealth. It was cheaper andeasier for people to come to the collection than for the collection, or parts of the collection, to go to thepeople.
