There are few things that will take you further in life, than your ability to make a good presentation.
Tom Peters
Champions are pioneers, and pioneers get shot at. The companies that get the most from champions, therefore, are those that have rich support network so their pioneers will flourish. This point is so important it's hard to overstress. No support systems, no champions. No champions, no innovations.
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
Design is so critical it should be on the agenda of every meeting in every single department.

There's nobody in the world that wouldn't change places with the Americans.

There's a lot on everybody's agenda.

Tom Peters
It doesn't matter what product or service you're offering there is unlimited ability to improve the quality of anything.
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
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.
Tom Peters
Leadership is about tapping the wellsprings of human motivation - and about fundamental relations with one's fellows.
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
The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say 'I'. They don't think 'I'. They think 'we' they think 'team'.
Tom Peters
Reward excellent failures. Punish mediocre successes.
Tom Peters
But there's no substitute for getting smarter faster. And the way you get smarter is to screw around vigorously. Try stuff. See what works. See what fails miserably. Learn. Rinse. Repeat.
Tom Peters
Who comes first? Don't be silly, says King Hal it's employees. That is - and this dear Watson, is elementary - if you genuinely want to put customers first, you must put employees more first.
