Tom Peters
The Expert

“Attack every project you do with reckless enthusiasm and passionate commitment to excellence.”

Tom Peters is a writer on business management practices. Fortune called Tom Peters the “Ur-guru” of management and compares him to Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman and HL Mencken. The Economist tagged him the “Uber-guru” – and Business Week’s take on his unconventional views led them to label him “businesses best friend and worst nightmare.”

Leadership guru Warren Bennis, the only person close to both Peters and the late Peter Drucker, told a journalist, “If Peter Drucker invented modern management, Tom Peters repainted it in Technicolor.”

If not excellence – what? If not excellence now – when?

  • In particular with the publication of In Search of Excellence, Peters and Bob Waterman effectively introduced the world of business to the notion of Excellence per se, a state of mind and daily practice not normally associated with enterprise.
  • This was just the beginning of the unwavering pursuit of Excellence, from the finance department, to after sales service, in car dealerships, police departments, banks and factories creating a basis for unmatchable competitive advantage.

With well over a dozen additional international business best sellers, these include:

  • A Passion for Excellence
  • Thriving on Chaos
  • Liberation Management
  • Circle of Innovation
  • Re-imagine!

Tom Peters Book List

Bloomsbury Press Book reviewed the contributions of path-breaking management thinkers and practitioners including Machiavelli, JP Morgan and Jack Welch. Here is their entry on Peters:

Tom Peters has probably done more than anyone else to shift the debate on management from the confines of boardrooms, academia and consultancies to a broader, worldwide audience where it becomes the staple diet of the media and managers alike. Peter Drucker has written more and his ideas have withstood a longer test of time, but it is Peters – as consultant, writer, columnist, seminar lecturer and stage performer – whose energy, style, influence, and ideas have shaped new management thinking.
