More quotes by Tom Peters
I am confident that for the foreseeable future (barring some catastrophic event affecting economic, energy, electrical, and communications systems), many subpopulations that use information intensively (e.g., students, academics, library patrons, white collar workers) will be using some sort of portal information appliance.
Tom Peters
In today's economy there are no experts, no 'best and brightest' with all the answers. It's up to each one of us. The only way to screw up is to not try anything.

Who, precisely, are your Dreamers? Are their Dreams in Technicolor? Do you allow their most Outrageous Dreams to be seen in public?
Tom Peters
Inspiring visions rarely (I'm tempted to say never) include numbers.

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!

Tom Peters
I still read quite a few printed books, but if something is available in digital format I do not print it before I read it.
Tom Peters
I don't know what it means to manage the human imagination, but I do know that imagination is the main source of value in the new economy. And I know we'd better figure out the answer to my question-quick.
Tom Peters
Transforming leadership, [is defined as] leadership that builds on man's need for meaning, leadership that creates institutional purpose ... he is the value-shaper, the exemplar, the maker of meanings ... he is the true artist, the true pathfinder.
Tom Peters
My half-baked reading of history is that we continue to go through these waves of entrepreneurial explosion followed by merger mania and consolidation. Out of that come big sluggish companies that eventually collapse under the weight of what they've created, and are killed off by the next wave of entrepreneurs.
Tom Peters
Your calendar never lies. All we have is our time. The way we spend our time is our priorities, is our strategy. Your calendar knows what you really care about. Do you?
Tom Peters
They say plan it. I say do it.
Tom Peters
If the other guy is getting better, then you'd better be getting better faster than the other guy is getting better... or you're getting worse.
Tom Peters
Quite simply, no matter how hard you try, no matter how open you are, you'll end up surrounded by yes people. It's hard not to believe people who are repeating your own ideas. Resist the temptation.
Tom Peters
I believe in the age of the Internet, Facebook and Twitter, that relationships are everything.
Tom Peters
The difference between great and average is, mostly, having the imagination and zeal to re-create yourself daily.
