OR DIE TRYING. Tom Peters, Consultant & Author If no one is pissed-off with you then you are dead but just haven't figured it out yet.Tom Peters, Consultant & Author Managing at any time, but more than ever today, is a symbolic activity. It involves energising people, often large numbers of people, to do new things they previously had not thought important. Building a compelling case - to really deliver a quality product, to double investment in reseach and development, to step out and take risks each day (e.g. make suggestions about cost-cutting when you are already afraid of losing your job) -is an emotional process at least as much as it is a rational one.Tom Peters, Consultant & Author In order to survive in these wild times, you're going to make a total fool of yourself with incredible regularity. If you can't laugh about it, then you are doomed.Tom Peters, Consultant & Author Technology has changed all the rules. Rigid hierarchies, departments, and job descriptions are history., Today companies are fluid, transformative, organized around temporary networks focused on the WOW! Project - a superbly executed, high-impact, piece of work with a beginning, an end, a Client, and specific deliverables, and an outcome you'll be bragging about 5(!) years(!) from now.Tom Peters, Consultant & Author
