Tom Peters
The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say 'I'. They don't think 'I'. They think 'we' they think 'team'.
Tom Peters
We're going to see leadership emerge as the most important element of business - the attribute that is highest in demand and shortest in supply.
Tom Peters
But there's no substitute for getting smarter faster. And the way you get smarter is to screw around vigorously. Try stuff. See what works. See what fails miserably. Learn. Rinse. Repeat.
Tom Peters
With most competitors moving ever faster, the race will go to those who listen (and respond) most intently.
Tom Peters
Develop a respect and reverence for the principle of variation: the idea that the message ain't in the mean, the mode or the median - it's in the differences that occur throughout a population.
Tom Peters
Portability of lots of information should not be underestimated.
Tom Peters
Musing on the phrase 'waste of time.' So much more complex than it appears. Many 'wastes of time' small talk, daydreaming are imperatives.
Tom Peters
Give a lot, expect a lot, and if you don't get it, prune.
