More quotes by Tom Peters
Hire disrespectful people.
Tom Peters
Forget loyalty. Or at least loyalty to one's corporation. Try loyalty to your Rolodex-your network-instead.
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
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
If silly things were not done, intelligent things would never happen.
Tom Peters

Tom Peters
Take someone NEW AND WEIRD to lunch today
Tom Peters

Tom Peters
A passive approach to professional growth will leave you by the wayside.
Tom Peters
What is my personal strategy for the next 10 hours? Who can I talk with or what can I volunteer for to learn something new?
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
Change is not so much about being the first one to embrace a new idea, but being the first to forget an old one
Tom Peters
The unthinkable is thinkable. No: likely.
Tom Peters
We often hear that the digital age has resulted in a devaluing of time, space, and place. But I wonder if theseclaims are exaggerated.
Tom Peters
Are you placing enough interesting, freakish, long shot, weirdo bets?
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
There's nobody in the world that wouldn't change places with the Americans. The economy is phenomenally large, the entrepreneurial class is very alive and very well, the universities, despite budget problems, still turn out something like 90 percent of the refereed academic and technical articles in the world. There's a lot on everybody's agenda.
Tom Peters
I think economics is about passion. Economic progress, whether it is a two-person coffee shop or whether it is Netscape, is about people with brave ideas. Because it is brave to mortgage the house, when you've got two kids, to start a coffee shop.
