Tom Peters
Give a lot, expect a lot, and if you don't get it, prune.
Tom Peters
Vision is dandy, but sustainable company excellence comes from a huge stable of able managers.
Tom Peters
The company's most urgent task is to learn to welcome, beg for, demand - innovation from everyone.
Tom Peters
The simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity.
Tom Peters
...high end does not necessarily equal high price. It's a matter of attitude.
Tom Peters
I found myself declaiming, full flower, for an hour on the utmost importance and urgency of Blogging, telling him in no uncertain terms that, especially in a high-end niche business, Blogging is the premier way to have intimate conversations with his Clients. Funny thing, I believe it!
Tom Peters
I would not be surprised to see interesting new forms of expression and literary genres develop as the e-book movement matures.
