More quotes by Tom Peters
If the person you delegated to does the job twice as well as you would have done it, consider yourself a leader.
Tom Peters
...high end does not necessarily equal high price. It's a matter of attitude.
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
Dot the i's, cross the t's, answer the phones promptly, send out errorless invoices, and in general never forget that the devil is in the details.
Tom Peters
One size NEVER fits all. One size fits one. Period
Tom Peters
Companies have got to learn to eat change for breakfast.
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
Leaders' careers will usually be determined by their handling of one or two critical events that no one could possibly anticipate or plan for.

And remember: Everything in business is a paradox. To be excellent, you have to be consistent. When you're consistent, you're vulnerable to attack. Yes, it's a paradox. Now deal with it!
Tom Peters
The whole secret to our success is being able to con ourselves into believing that we're going to change the world because statistically we are unlikely to do it.
Tom Peters
Community organizing is all about building grassroots support. It's about identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common, passionate cause. And it's about ignoring the conventional wisdom of company politics and instead playing the game by very different rules.
Tom Peters
Organizations exist to serve. Period. Leaders live to serve. Period.
Tom Peters
Customers perceive service in their own unique, idiosyncratic, emotional, irrational, end-of-the-day, and totally human terms. Perception is all there is!
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
Think about the market, think about the design, and think about who is going to design for that market. Hit the mark.
Tom Peters
Steve Jobs is perhaps the most competitive human being I have ever met in my life, and yet I would argue one of the most artistic human beings I have ever met in my life. You can trash the movies all you want, but they do have an artistic component. And yet brutal competition knows no peers when it comes to Hollywood.
Tom Peters
Effective listening is a professional achievement-achieved only through hard work.
Tom Peters
Collections of books and other documents, either printed or electronic, are a form of congregation.
