More quotes by Tom Peters
Now that gigabytes of accessible, malleable information can be carried in one's pocket, we probably will start to see some widespread shifts and trends in how and where people interact with digital documents.
Tom Peters
An ability to embrace new ideas, routinely challenge old ones, and live with paradox will be the effective leader's premier trait.
Tom Peters
Hire attitude train skills.
Tom Peters
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.
Tom Peters
Integrity may be about little things as much or more than big ones.
Tom Peters
It's this simple: You are a brand. You are in charge of your brand. There is no single path to success. And there is no one right way to create the brand called You. Except this: Start today. Or else.
Tom Peters

Tom Peters
The workplace revolution that transformed the lives of blue-collar workers in the 1970s and 1980s is finally reaching the offices and cubicles of the white-collar workers.
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
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
Are you placing enough interesting, freakish, long shot, weirdo bets?
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
If future competitiveness depends on treating people as an important part of the institution, the least respectful thing I can imagine doing to a human being is asking him to urinate in a cup.
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
You can't live life without an eraser.
Tom Peters
