About book The Little Big Things: 163 Ways To Pursue EXCELLENCE (2010)
The World's Worst Advice (Please Ignore It) "Relentless" may be my favorite word in "success literature." Hence, "Know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em" is 99% wrongheaded. Most of us won't end up in the history books, but those who do—every bloody one of them—did not know when to fold 'em!Bottom line: "There's a time to hold 'em and a time to keep on holdin' 'em—if you really really really care."Swallow your pride, especially if you’re a “top” boss. Ask until you understand! The “dumber” the question, the better! If the askee is irritated at you or decides you’re less smart than she thought, because of your “stupid” questions, well, consider that Total Victory! If you don't get Tom Peters then you are most likely part of the problem. Peters wants change and he wants it now -- not after a study or a report, he wants people to actively do stuff to make organizations better. I wish Peters ran an airline -- I would immediately book a flight to anywhere, for no reason other than it was Tom Peters Airlines.He also wants us to be better: more engaged, making eye contact and listening -- there's not enough listening. He sites how the average doctor cuts off a patient 18 seconds into a conversation. Ignore Tom Peters at your own peril.
