Progress is mostly the product of rogues.
Tom Peters
They say plan it. I say do it.
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
The dominant culture in most big companies demands punishment for a mistake, no matter how useful, small, invisible.
Tom Peters
If not excellence, what? If not excellence now, when?
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
Stellar teams are invariably made up of quirky individuals who typically rub each other raw, but they figure out - with the spiritual help of a gifted leader - how to be their peculiar selves and how to win championships as a team...at the same time.
Tom Peters
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
Digital content and electronic networks have changed the basic environmental conditionsin which documents are created, distributed, and used.
Tom Peters
Integrity may be about little things as much or more than big ones.
Tom Peters
...high end does not necessarily equal high price. It's a matter of attitude.
Tom Peters
Creating in all employees the awareness that their best efforts are essential and that they will share in the rewards of the company's success.
Tom Peters
The greatest difficulty in the world is not for people to accept new ideas, but to make them forget old ideas.
Tom Peters
Celebrate what you want to see more of.
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
There are few things that will take you further in life, than your ability to make a good presentation.
Tom Peters
A while back, I came across a line attributed to IBM founder Thomas Watson. If you want to achieve excellence, he said, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.
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.
