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
You can't think your way out of a box you've got to act.
Tom Peters
The simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity.
Tom Peters
Now that gigabytes of accessible, malleable information can be carried in one's pocket, we probably will start to see some widespread shifts and trends in how and where people interact with digital documents.
Tom Peters
There is no such thing as an insignificant improvement.
Tom Peters
Celebrate what you want to see more of.
Tom Peters
One potential long-term problem with many current digital libraries is that they grew out of and aresupported by bricks-and-mortar libraries. Although there is nothing inherently wrong with that arrangement, inreality it creates a potentially dangerous situation that I call the other digital divide.
