Synopsis

""It is [Tom] Peters—as consultant, writer, columnist, seminar lecturer, and stage performer—whose energy, style, influence, and ideas have [most] shaped new management thinking.” —Movers and Shakers: The 100 Most Influential Figures in Modern Business “We live in a Tom Peters world.” —Fortune Magazine Business uber-guru Tom Peters is back with his first book in a decade, The Little Big Things. In this age of economic recession and financial uncertainty, the patented Peters approach to business and management—no-nonsense, witty, down-to-earth, insightful—is more pertinent now than ever. As essential for small-business owners as it is for the heads of major corporations, The Little Big Things is a rousing call-to-arms to American business to get “back to the basics” of running a successful enterprise.

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......more

Goodreads review by Tara on May 24, 2021

Blogs rarely make great books. They can summon a slice of insight. This book is founded in blogs and it shows. There are no large, well researched, complex ideas here.
