Tom Peters
The winners stun us not by their cleverness, but by the fact that every tiny aspect of the business is just a touch better than the norm.
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
Power lies in the details, and the tenacious pursuit of such hidden levers can pay off enormously. While you don't want to get a reputation as a prissy worrywart, worrying about the details in private is important. You may think you are the world's greatest speaker, but if the auditorium's sound system is singing static - well, forget it.
Tom Peters
Vision is dandy, but sustainable company excellence comes from a huge stable of able managers.
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.
