More quotes by Tom Peters
Public Speaking is a skill that can be studied, polished, perfected. Not only can you get good at it, you can get damn good at it and it makes a heck of a difference.
Tom Peters
The world has not just turned upside down. It is turning in every which way at an accelerating pace.
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
An ability to embrace new ideas, routinely challenge old ones, and live with paradox will be the effective leader's premier trait.
Tom Peters
The thing that keeps a business ahead of the competition is excellence in execution.
Tom Peters
Give a lot, expect a lot, and if you don't get it, prune.
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
Be guided by the axiom: There are no limits to the ability to contribute on the part of a properly selected, well-trained, appropriately supported, and, above all, committed person.
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
One size NEVER fits all. One size fits one. Period
Tom Peters
Dot the i's, cross the t's, answer the phones promptly, send out errorless invoices, and in general never forget that the devil is in the details.
Tom Peters
An era similar to the one in which the black rotary phone dominated its product category may not recur anytime soon.
Tom Peters
As a consumer, you want to associate with brands whose powerful presence creates a halo effect that rubs off on you.
Tom Peters
MP3 players and flash memory devices are good for data storage and playback of music and digital talking books, but they offer little or nothing in the way of visual presentation of information and communication.
Tom Peters
I am my clients. I am defined by who I do business with.
Tom Peters
Musing on the phrase 'waste of time.' So much more complex than it appears. Many 'wastes of time' small talk, daydreaming are imperatives.
Tom Peters
I'm fundamentally not interested in the Fortune 500 companies - in US, Mexico, anywhere. The real backbones of economic growth are small and medium businesses.
Tom Peters
Celebrate what you want to see more of.
Tom Peters
I'm about as far from being a flag-waver - you won't find any American flag pins in my drawer - as someone can be.
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.
