More quotes by Tom Peters
Don't settle for less than is possible.
Tom Peters
For me, reading is reading.
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
Lavish credit on anyone and everyone who helped you the least bit.
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
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
Business is about people. It's about passion. It's about bold ideas, bold small ideas or bold large ideas.
Tom Peters
We found that the most exciting environments, that treated people very well, are also tough as nails. There is no bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo... excellent companies provide two things simultaneously: tough environments and very supportive environments.
Tom Peters
If, as I anticipate, a wide array of personal, portable information/communication devices becomes increasingly important and widespread for information-intensive users, it will be a major challenge for libraries to adapt their content and services to such a diverse technological environment.
Tom Peters
Winners must learn to relish change with the same enthusiasm and energy that we have resisted it in the past.
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
People of all demographic categories and geographic regions will access a good digital library.
Tom Peters
Only pissed-off people change the world.
Tom Peters
The trouble with much of the advice business gets today about the need to be more vigorously creative is that its advocates often fail to distinguish between creativity and innovation. Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things... The shortage is of innovators.
Tom Peters
Ready, fire, aim. Do it! Make it happen! Action counts. No one ever sat their way to success.
Tom Peters
In the great city of San Francisco, where I used to live, at 2 in the morning every other Victorian house has somebody who is writing the great American novel. And the city is not loaded with James Joyces or Virginia Woolfs. But entrepreneurship is about distorted views of reality.
Tom Peters
I want the public as well as libraries and schools to enjoy unlimited access to public-domain books. This means no charges for these kind of texts themselves.
Tom Peters
A passive approach to professional growth will leave you by the wayside.
Tom Peters
For the blue-collar worker, the driving force behind change was factory automation using programmable machine tools. For the office worker, it's office automation using computer technology: enterprise-resource-planning systems, groupware, intranets, extranets, expert systems, the Web, and e-commerce.
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.
