“There will be more
confusion in the business world in the next decade than in any decade in history. And the current pace of
change will only accelerate.”Steve Case

Uncertainty: We don’t know when things will get back
to normal.
Ambiguity: We no longer know what “normal”
means.

7 Rules for Leading/THRIVING in a Recession+
1. It’s ALREADY too late.2. Show up & tell the truth—CREDIBILITY rules.3. Kill with KINDNESS.4. Sharp pencils are imperative—but don’t forget that the CUSTOMER & our TALENT & RISKY INVESTMENTS are still our long-term Bread & Butter.
5. Everything’s different, everything’s the same—it’s the NEW ECONOMY, more than ever, stupid!6. “Use” the trauma to mount the bold initiatives you should have long before mounted: Flux = OPPORTUNITY.7. We’re in a War of Organizational Models—from retail to the Pentagon. IDEAS MATTER MOST.

CEOs appointed after

“Good management was the most powerful reason [leading firms] failed to stay atop their industries. Precisely because these firms
listened to their customers, invested aggressively in technologies that would provide their customers more
and better products of the sort they wanted, and because they carefully studied market trends and
systematically allocated investment capital to innovations that promised the best returns, they lost
their positions of leadership.”
Clayton Christensen, The Innovator’s Dilemma
![Page 17: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“A pattern emphasized in the case studies in this book is the degree to which powerful competitors not only resist innovative threats, but actually resist all efforts to understand them, preferring to further their positions in
older products. This results in a surge of productivity and performance that may take the old technology to unheard of
heights. But in most cases this is a sign of impending death.”
Jim Utterback, Mastering the Dynamics of Innovation

“The 1990s was a decade of multiple revolutions—political, economic, technological—that
changed so thoroughly the way we live that the past no longer seems a good guide to the future
(in fact the past seems precisely the wrong guide). So it is in the world of military affairs. The RMA is our opportunity to use the
new information technology to change the very nature of the military—in a way that could
reinvigorate American political, diplomatic and economic leadership in the world for decades to
come.” –Bill Owens, Lifting the Fog of War

Japan’s Science Gap *
Rice farming culture: Uniqueness suppressed. Gov’t control of R & D. Promotion based on
seniority. Consensus vs. debate. (U.S.: friends can
be mortal enemies.) Bias for C.I. vs. “bold leaps.” Lack of competition and critical evaluation (peer
review). Syukuro Manabe: “What we need to create is job insecurity rather than
security to make people compete more.”
*Hideki Shirakawa, Nobel laureate, chemistry

“Chivalry is dead. The new code of conduct is an active strategy of disrupting the status quo
to create an unsustainable series of competitive advantages. This is not an age of defensive
castles, moats and armor. It is rather an age of cunning, speed and surprise. It may be hard for some to hang up the chain mail of ‘sustainable
advantage’ after so many battles. But hypercompetition, a state in which sustainable advantages are no longer possible, is now the
only level of competition.”

Lessons from the Bees!
“Since merger mania is now the rage, what lessons can the bees teach us? A simple one: Merging is not in
nature. [Nature’s] process is the exact opposite: one of growth, fragmentation and dispersal. There is no
megalomania, no merging for merging’s sake. The point is that unlike corporations, which just get bigger, bee colonies know when the time has come to split up into
smaller colonies which can grow value faster. What the bees are telling us is that the corporate
world has got it all wrong.”David Lascelles, Co-director of The Centre for the
Study of Financial Innovation [UK]

“Terror cells are superb, malevolent examples of what Information Age
organizations can be. So how do you kill them? … Soldiers used to idolize
Napoleon or Patton. Network-centric warriors admire Wal*Mart for using ‘information superiority’ to crush

enabled units.” –America’s Secret Weapon, Business 2.0 (DEC2001)

“The move toward outsourced manufacturing represents an obvious
opportunity for contract manufacturers [such

Someone else makes the imaginary real. ‘All that money that used to go to fund infrastructure is going into design and
innovation,’ says Flex CEO Michael Marks.”Wired/11.2001

“The fundamental unit of the new economy is not the corporation, but the individual. Tasks aren’t assigned and controlled through a stable chain of command but are carried out autonomously by
independent contractors - e-lancers - who join together in fluid and temporary networks to sell goods and services. When the job is done, the network dissolves and its members become independent again, circulating through the economy, seeking the next assignment.”

“You must realize that how you invest your human capital matters as much as how you
invest your financial capital. Its rate of return determines your future options. Take a job for what it teaches you, not for what it pays. Instead of a potential employer asking, ‘Where do you see yourself in 5 years?’
you’ll ask, ‘If I invest my mental assets with you for 5 years, how much will they
appreciate? How much will my portfolio of career options grow?’ ”

E-LEARNING: 2M students in U.S. 4,000 colleges & universities offer. Target: Developing world.
E.g.: U. of Melbourne & McGill, part of U21 (with Thompson Learning), expect 100K students by 2010—mostly Asians. Army’s $500M contract with PWC (eArmyU)—includes degrees @ 24
colleges. Mixed models: Fuqua—9 to 11 weeks “in residence” over 2 years. Dentist gets law degree—25 to 30 hours per week. IBM trained 200K online in 2000—saved $350M. “Tricks”:
Small classes, required student involvement at U. of Phoenix Online (76% growth in Y2K.).

In Store: International Equality, Intranational Inequality
“The new organization of society implied by the triumph of individual autonomy and the true equalization of opportunity based upon merit will lead to very great
rewards for merit and great individual autonomy. This will leave individuals far more responsible for
themselves than they have been accustomed to being during the industrial period. It will also reduce the
unearned advantage in living standards that has been enjoyed by residents of advanced industrial societies
throughout the 20th century.”

Charles Handy on the “alchemists”: “Passion was what drove these people, passion for their product or their cause. If you
care enough, you will find out what you need to know. Or you will experiment and not worry if the experiment goes wrong. Passion as the
secret to learning is an odd secret to propose, but I believe that it works at all levels and at all ages. Sadly, passion is not a word often heard in the elephant organizations, nor in schools,
where it can seem disruptive.”

Rule #1(And there are no other rules): Assigning people to projects they feel
passionate about. “ ‘If you think something is really important, follow your heart—it energizes you and you give your best performance.’ That’s

zone.’ ” –Lina Echeverria, fiber optics research director,

The Sales25: Great Salespeople …
1. Know the product. (Find cool mentors, and use them.)
2. Know the company.3. Know the customer. (Including the customer’s consultants.) (And especially the “corporate culture.”)4. Love internal politics at home and abroad.5. Religiously respect competitors. (No badmouthing, no matter how provoked.)6. Wire the customer’s org. (Relationships at all levels & functions.)7. Wire the home team’s org. and vendors’ orgs. (INVEST Big Time time in relationships at all levels & functions.) (Take junior people in all functions to client meetings.)
![Page 135: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
Great Salespeople …
8. Never overpromise. (Even if it costs you your job.) 9. Sell only by solving problems-creating profitable opportunities. (“Our product solves these problems, creates these unimagined INCREDIBLE opportunities, and will make you a ton of money—here’s exactly how.”) (IS THIS A “PRODUCT SALE” OR A WOW-ORIGINAL SOLUTION YOU’LL BE DINING OFF 5 YEARS FROM NOW? THAT WILL BE WRITTEN UP IN THE TRADE PRESS?)10. Will involve anybody—including mortal enemies—if it enhances the scope of the problem we can solve and increases the scope of the opportunity we can encompass.11. Know the Brand Story cold; live the Brand Story. (If not, leave.)

Great Salespeople …
12. Think “Turnkey.” (It’s always your problem!)
13. Act as “orchestra conductor”: You are responsible for making the whole-damn-network respond. (PERIOD.)
14. Help the customer get to know the vendor’s organization & build up their Rolodex.15. Walk away from bad business. (Even if it gets you fired.)
16. Understand the idea of a “good loss.” (A bold effort that’s sometimes better than a lousy win.)17. Think those who regularly say “It’s all a price issue” suffer from rampant immaturity & shrunken imagination.18. Will not give away the store to get a foot in the door. 19. Are wary & respectful of upstarts—the real enemy.20. Seek several “cool customers”—who’ll drag you into Tomorrowland.

Great Salespeople …
21. Use the word “partnership” obsessively, even though it is way overused. (“Partnership” includes folks at all levels throughout the supply chain.)22. Send thank you notes by the truckload. (NOT E-NOTES.) (Most are for “little things.”) (50% of those notes are sent to those in our company!) Remember birthdays. Use the word “we.” 23. When you look across the table at the customer, think religiously to yourself: “HOW CAN I MAKE THIS DUDE RICH & FAMOUS & GET HIM-HER PROMOTED?” 24. Great salespeople can affirmatively respond to the query in an HP banner ad: HAVE YOU CHANGED CIVILIZATION TODAY?25. Keep your bloody PowerPoint slides simple!

Boss Advice II: The “Flypaper” Strategy
“Event Marketing”: Idea Fair/Internal “Tradeshow”/Bragfest. Or: Seminar Series, with
“strange” outsiders/insiders (not the usual suspects); intense Web-based follow-up and community creation
(Neighborhoods of Common Interest).
“Play Fund,” around a topic of importance. Small-ish grants. Easy application process. Short-ish
timeframes. (Gerstner @ American Express re AI.)
“Scholarships” (not the usual suspects). Sabbatical funds (contest?). Placement on customer or supplier
project teams (not the usual suspects).

“Diversity defines the health and wealth of nations in a new century.
Mighty is the mongrel. … The hybrid is hip. The impure, the mélange, the adulterated, the
blemished, the rough, the black-and-blue, the mix-and-match – these people are inheriting
the earth. Mixing is the new norm. Mixing trumps isolation. It spawns creativity,
nourishes the human spirit, spurs economic growth
and empowers nations.”

favor interactive-collaborative leadership style [empowerment beats top-down decision making]; sustain fruitful collaborations; comfortable with sharing information; see redistribution of power

“rationality”; inherently flexible; appreciate cultural diversity

“My wife and I went to a [kindergarten] parent-teacher conference and were informed that our budding
refrigerator artist, Christopher, would be receiving a grade of Unsatisfactory in art. We were shocked. How could any child—let alone our child—receive a poor
grade in art at such a young age? His teacher informed us that he had refused to color within the lines, which was a
state requirement for demonstrating ‘grade-level motor
skills.’ ”Jordan Ayan, AHA!

“How many artists are there in the room? Would you please raise your hands. FIRST GRADE: En masse the children leapt from their seats, arms waving. Every child was an artist. SECOND
GRADE: About half the kids raised their hands, shoulder high, no higher. The hands were still. THIRD GRADE: At best, 10 kids out
of 30 would raise a hand, tentatively, self-consciously. By the time I reached SIXTH GRADE, no more than one or two kids
raised their hands, and then ever so slightly, betraying a fear of being identified by the group as a ‘closet artist.’ The point is:
Every school I visited was participating in the suppression of creative genius.”

Schools’ “Kafka-like rituals”: “enforce sensory deprivation on classes of children held in
featureless rooms … sort children into rigid categories by the use of fantastic measures such as
age-grading, or standardized test scores … train children to drop whatever they are occupied with and to move as a body from room to room at the sound of a bell, buzzer, horn, or klaxon … keep children under constant surveillance, depriving
them of private time and space …

Kafka-like rituals (cont.): “assign children numbers constantly, feigning the ability to
discriminate qualities quantitatively … insist that every moment of time be filled with low-

active learning time to acquire.”

Tom’s Edu3M
Manifesto**Manifesto for Education in the 3rd Millennium
![Page 211: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/211.jpg)
Education3MLearning is a normal state.Children are learnavores.
Prodigious feats of learning are common as dirt. [Watch a H.S. QB studying game film.]
We learn at different rates.We learn in different ways.
Boys and girls learn [very] differently.In a class of 25, there are 25 different trajectories.
Learning in 40-minutes blocks is bullshit.Learning for tests is utterly insane.
There are numerous rigorous evaluation schemes, of which testing is but one—and abnormal, by “real
world” standards.
![Page 212: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/212.jpg)
Education3M
We learn most/fastest/most completely when we are passionate about what we are learning and it
matters to us. [Salience rules!] Think EBI/LBI: Education by Interest/
Learning by Internship.Classrooms are abnormal places.
We need changes of pace. [Japanese recesses after each class.]
International test scores are not correlated with hours-per-year in class.
Big classes are slightly problematic. Big schools suck. Period.
![Page 213: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/213.jpg)
Education3M
“All this”—the right stuff—fits the NWW/New World of Work hand-in-glove. [NWW = Age of Creativity.]
U.S. schools circa 2001 are a vestige of the Prussian-Fordist model, more interested in shaping behavior than stoking the fires of lifelong learning.
Cutting art-music budgets is truly dumb.Learning is a matter of Intensity of Engagement, not elapsed time. [Aargh: 11 minutes on the Battle of Gettysburg.]
Teachers need enough space-time-flexibility to get to know kids as individuals.
Scientific discovery processes and the teaching of science are utterly at odds. [Exploration vs. spoon-feeding.]
![Page 214: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/214.jpg)
Education3M
Our toughest “learning achievement”—mastering our native language—does not
require schools, or even competent parents. [It does require a desperate need-to-know.]
Great teachers are great learners, not imparters-of-knowledge.
Great teachers ask great questions—that launch kids on lifelong quests.
The world is not about “right” & “wrong” answers; it is about the pursuit of increasingly
sophisticated questions—just ask a ski instructor or neurosurgeon.
![Page 215: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/215.jpg)
Education3M
Most schools spend most of their time setting up contexts in which kids learn not to like
particular subjects. [Evidence shows that such anti-learning sticks!]
Vigorous exploration is normal … until you are incarcerated in a school.
“Bite size” education-learning is neither education nor learning.
Learning takes place rapidly on the cheerleading squad, the football team, the school newspaper, the drama club, at the after-class job--just not in
the hyper-structured classroom.
![Page 216: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/216.jpg)
Education3M
The “school reform” “movement” is a giant step … backwards … embracing the Prussian-Fordist paradigm with renewed vigor—at exactly the
wrong time.There are large numbers of superb schools, superb principals, superb teachers; sadly, they not only fail
to infect the [largely timid] rest, but are ordinarily supplanted by wusses & wimps.
Alas, the teaching profession does not ordinarily attract “cool dudes & dudettes.”
Schools of “education” should by and large have their charters revoked.
![Page 217: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/217.jpg)
Education3M
Stability is dead; “education” must therefore “educate” for an unknowable,
ambiguous, changing future; thence, learning to learn & change is far more
important than mastery of a static body of “facts.”
“Education” must “develop in youth the capabilities for engaging in intense concentrated
involvement in an activity.” [James Coleman, 1974.] [Hint: It doesn’t.] [Hint: Understatement.]

COMPETITORS: “The best swordsman in the world doesn’t need to fear the
second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some
ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn’t do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn’t prepared for him; he does the thing he ought not to do and often it catches the expert out and ends
him on the spot.”

WEIRD IDEAS THAT WORK: (1) Hire slow learners (of the organizational code). (1.5) Hire people who make you
uncomfortable, even those you dislike. (2) Hire people you (probably) don’t need. (3) Use job interviews to get ideas, not
to screen candidates. (4) Encourage people to ignore and defy superiors and peers. (5) Find some happy people and get them to fight. (6) Reward success and failure, punish inaction.
(7) Decide to do something that will probably fail, then convince yourself and everyone else that success is certain. (8) Think of
some ridiculous, impractical things to do, then do them. (9) Avoid, distract, and bore customers, critics, and anyone who just wants to talk about money. (10) Don’t try to learn anything from people who seem to have solved the problems you face.
(11) Forget the past, particularly your company’s success.

Logic: Cut from 1,000 brands to 500 brands, for efficiency’s sake. Need 10% p.a. growth in
reduced # of brands to get “guaranteed” corporate growth of 5%. (AND YOU DON’T GET
“AVERAGE” GROWTH IN EVERY BRAND—DUH.) Hence, 10% across-the-board growth will mostly come from
40% growth in small # of brands (Pareto: 80/20 rule; blah, blah, blah).
Axiom: 40% growth will only come from high-risk bets—and accompanying failures--across
the portfolio. Hence, the “VC [GM] model.”

TALENT POOL TO DIE FOR. Youthful. Insanely energetic. Value creativity. Risk taking is routine. Failing is normal … if you’re stretching. Want to “make their
bones” in “the revolution.”Love the new technologies. Well rewarded. Don’t plan to
be around 10 years from now.
![Page 233: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/233.jpg)
TALENT POOL PLUS. Seek out and work with “world’s best” as needed (it’s often
needed). “We aim to change the world, and we need gifted colleagues—who well may
not be on our payroll.”
![Page 234: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/234.jpg)
BRASSY-BUT-GROUNDED-LEADERSHIP. Say “I don’t know”—and then unleash the TALENT.
Have a vision to be DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT—but don’t expect the co. to be around forever. Will scrap pet projects, and change course 180
degrees—and take a big write-off in the process. NO REGRETS FROM SCREW-UPS WHOSE TIME
HAS NOT-YET-COME. GREAT REGRETS AT TIME & $$$ WASTED ON “ME TOO” PRODUCTS
AND PROJECTS.

BRASSY-BUT-GROUNDED-LEADERSHIP. (Cont.) “Visionary” leaders matched by leaders with
shrewd business sense: “HOW DO WE TURN A PROFIT ON THIS GORGEOUS IDEA?”
Appreciate “market creation” as much as or more than “market share growth.” ARE
INSANELY AWARE THAT MARKET LEADERS ARE ALWAYS IN PRECARIOUS POSITIONS,
AND THAT MARKET SHARE WILL NOT PROTECT US, IN TODAY’S VOLATILE WORLD,
FROM THE NEXT KILLER IDEA AND KILLER ENTREPRENEUR. (Gates. Ellison. Venter.
McNealy. Walton. Skilling. Case. Etc.)

ALLIANCE MANIACS. Don’t assume that “the best resides within.” WORK WITH A
SHIFTING ARRAY OF STATE-OF-THE-ART PARTNERS FROM ONE END OF THE “SUPPLY CHAIN” TO THE OTHER.
Including vendors and consultants and … especially … PIONEERING CUSTOMERS …
who will “pull us into the future.”

TECHNOLOGY-NETWORK FANATICS. Run the whole-damn-company, and relations with all
outsiders, on the Internet … at Internet speed. Reluctant to work with those who don’t share
this (radical) vision.

things.”

“The 1990s was a decade of multiple revolutions—political, economic, technological—that
changed so thoroughly the way we live that the past no longer seems a good guide to the future (in fact the past seems precisely the wrong
guide). So it is in the world of military affairs. The RMA is our opportunity to use the new information technology to change the very nature of the military—in a way that could
reinvigorate American political, diplomatic and economic leadership in the world for decades to
come.” –Bill Owens, Lifting the Fog of War

“Our military is very good at doing things as they are supposed to be done, but it is not always good at changing the way things ought to be done. Highly
professional militaries can be very good at maintaining the institution’s traditions, mores and
cultures in the face of rapid and important change. … Equating professionalism with automatically defending the status quo can be disastrous.
This is the mindset that drives service loyalties toward narrow parochialism, and congeals organizations into brittle shells. We end up
ignoring opportunities that could actually offer higher military effectiveness.” –Bill Owens,

“Mike [Boorda’s] self-avowed priority was to preserve and protect the size, budget and
structure of the U.S. Navy—his Navy—irrespective of any other consideration—
because he deeply believed that the Navy was the core of America’s military capability. My
view over the years had shifted toward the conviction that we in the Navy need to implement major changes in order to
become more joint—to work better and more closely with the other services.”

“Many flaws remained—flaws not from poor performance, but from an ingrained command
hierarchy and an outmoded concept of war that had taken root during World War II and then during the cold war. Desert Storm was a joint
military operation in name rather than in fact. … The battlefield was divided among service components. …
The fiefdoms existed not only because of tradition, service rivalry and the egos of the commanders; they were also there because of technological limitations.
We did not have the communications capability to do it differently.” –Bill Owens, Lifting the Fog of War

“Once devised in Riyadh, the tasking order took hours to get to the Navy’s six aircraft carriers—because the
Navy had failed years earlier to procure the proper communications gear that would have connected the
Navy with its Air Force counterparts. … To compensate for the lack of communications capability, the Navy was forced to fly a daily cargo mission from
the Persian Gulf and Red Sea to Riyadh in order to pick up a computer printout of the air mission tasking
order, then fly back to the carriers, run photocopy machines at full tilt, and distribute the documents to the air wing squadrons that were planning the next
strike.” –Bill Owens, Lifting the Fog of War

“Once devised in Riyadh, the tasking order took hours to get to the Navy’s six aircraft carriers—because the
Navy had failed years earlier to procure the proper communications gear that would have connected the
Navy with its Air Force counterparts. … To compensate for the lack of communications capability, the Navy was forced to fly a daily cargo mission from
the Persian Gulf and Red Sea to Riyadh in order to pick up a computer printout of the air mission tasking
order, then fly back to the carriers, run photocopy machines at full tilt, and distribute the documents to the air wing squadrons that were planning the next
strike.” –Bill Owens, Lifting the Fog of War

“Often all one must do to acquire a disease is to enter a country where a disease is
recognized—leaving the country will either
cure the malady or turn it into something else. … Blood pressure considered treatably high in the United States might be considered normal in England; and the low blood pressure treated with 85 drugs as well as hydrotherapy and spa

“Practice variation is not caused by ‘bad’ or ‘ignorant’ doctors. Rather, it is a natural
consequence of a system that systematically tracks neither its processes nor its outcomes,
preferring to presume that good facilities, good intentions and good training lead automatically
to good results. Providers remain more comfortable with the habits of a guild, where
each craftsman trusts his fellows, than with the demands of the information age.”

“BIG DRUG MAKERS TRY TO POSTPONE

products – that many of them are resisting its widespread use.”

way, don’t buy for the same reasons.”
“He simply wants the transaction to take place. She’s interested in creating a relationship. Every place women go,
they make connections.”

“Men seem like loose cannons. Men always move faster through a store’s
aisles. Men spend less time looking. They usually don’t like asking where things are.
You’ll see a man move impatiently through a store to the section he wants,
pick something up, and then, almost abruptly he’s ready to buy. … For a
man, ignoring the price tag is almost a sign of virility.”

“It is obvious to a woman when another woman is upset, while a man generally has to physically witness
tears or a temper tantrum or be slapped in the face before he even has a clue that anything is going on. Like most female mammals, women are equipped with far more finely tuned
sensory skills than men.” Barbara & Allan Pease, Why Men Don’t Listen & Women Can’t Read Maps

“Resting” State: 30%, 90%: “A woman knows her children’s
friends, hopes, dreams, romances, secret fears, what they are
thinking, how they are feeling. Men are vaguely aware of some short people also living in the house.”

“As a hunter, a man needed vision that would allow him to zero in on targets in the distance … whereas a woman needed eyes
to allow a wide arc of vision so that she could monitor any predators sneaking up on the nest. This is why modern men can find their way effortlessly to a distant pub,
but can never find things in fridges, cupboards or drawers.”

“Female hearing advantage contributes significantly to what is
called ‘women’s intuition’ and is one of the reasons why a woman can read between the lines of what people say. Men, however, shouldn’t despair.
They are excellent at imitating animal sounds.”

“I make 1/3rd more money than my husband does. I have as much financial
‘pull’ in the relationship as he does. I’d say this is also true of most of my women
friends. Someone should wake up, smell the coffee and kiss our asses long enough
to sell us something! We have money to
spend and nobody wants it!”

STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY: I am a businessperson. An analyst. A pragmatist. The enormous social good of increased women’s
power is clear to me; but it is not my bailiwick. My “game” is haranguing business leaders
about my fact-based conviction that women’s increasing power – leadership skills
and purchasing power – is the strongest and most dynamic force at work in the American
economy today. Dare I say it as a long-time Palo Alto resident … THIS IS EVEN BIGGER THAN
THE INTERNET!

Hypothesis: DESIGN is the principal difference
between love and hate!
![Page 409: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/409.jpg)
THE BASE CASE: I am a design fanatic. Personally, though not “artistic,” I’m a cool-stuff guy. I love what
I love and I hate what I hate. [Openly.] But it goes [much] further, far beyond the personal. Design has
become a professional obsession. I – SIMPLY – BELIEVE THAT DESIGN PER SE IS
THE PRINCIPAL REASON FOR EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT [or detachment] RELATIVE TO A
PRODUCT OR SERVICE OR EXPERIENCE. Design, as I see it, is arguably the #1 determinant of
whether a product-service-experience stands out … or doesn’t. Furthermore, it’s “one of those things” …
that damn few companies put – consistently – on the front burner.

“Today the problem is not how to produce more to sell more.
The fundamental question is that of the product’s right to exist. And it is the designer’s right and duty to question the
legitimacy of the product.”
Philippe Starck

“My main task when I was artistic director at Thompson for four years: to make the company virtuous. Not because there was a desire to do evil, but because they had simply forgotten their
purpose in life—to be of service.”
Philippe Starck
![Page 414: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/414.jpg)
“I invented the slogan ‘Thompson: From Technology to Love.’ That completely
repositioned the problem. Because now we were saying that technology wasn’t an end in itself, but just a means—and
that the real goal was what had always been there, the original priority,
humanity, whose ultimate criterion is love. That connects back to the idea of the
friendly object, the good object.”
Philippe Starck

“[At Thompson] I outlawed the word ‘consumer’ in all company meetings, and insisted it be
replaced by the words ‘my friend,’ ‘my wife, ‘my daughter,’ ‘my mother,’ or ‘myself.’ It doesn’t sound the same at all, if you say: ‘It doesn’t
matter, it’s shit, but the consumers will make do with it,’ or if you start over again and say, ‘It’s
shit, but it doesn’t matter, my daughter will make do with it.’ All of a sudden, you can’t get away
with it anymore. There is an enormous task to be done with this kind of symbolic repositioning.”

“Today, 80 per cent of objects are
unnecessarily macho. Yet it is plain: The intelligence of a truly
modern society must be feminine. … Apart from a machine pistol, I can’t think of many objects
which actually need to be extravagantly masculine.”

enough?”) (3) Design must be Priority No. 1.

“Most companies tend to equate branding with the company’s marketing. Design a new marketing
campaign and, voila, you’re on course. They are wrong. The task is much bigger. It is about fulfilling our potential … not about a new logo, no matter how
clever. WHAT IS MY MISSION IN LIFE? WHAT DO I WANT TO CONVEY TO PEOPLE? HOW DO
I MAKE SURE THAT WHAT I HAVE TO OFFER THE WORLD IS ACTUALLY UNIQUE? The brand has to give of itself, the company has to give of itself, the management has to give of itself. To
put it bluntly, it is a matter of whether – or not – you want to be … UNIQUE … NOW.”

“We are in the twilight of a society based on data. As information and intelligence become the domain of computers, society will place more value on the one human ability that cannot be automated: emotion.
Imagination, myth, ritual - the language of emotion - will affect everything from our purchasing decisions
to how we work with others. Companies will thrive on the basis of their stories and myths. Companies will need to understand
that their products are less important than their stories.”

1. Leadership Is a …
Mutual Discovery Process.
![Page 448: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! MASTER / 11.30.2001](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/5681324d550346895d98c4ed/html5/thumbnails/448.jpg)
Leaders-Teachers Do Not “Transform People”!
Instead leaders-mentors-teachers (1) provide a context which is marked by (2) access to a luxuriant portfolio of meaningful opportunities (projects) which
(3) allow people to fully (and safely, mostly—caveat: “they”
don’t engage unless they’re “mad about something”) express their innate curiosity and (4) engage in a vigorous
discovery voyage (alone and in small teams, assisted by an
extensive self-constructed network) by which those people (5) go to-create places they (and their mentors-teachers-
leaders) had never dreamed existed—and then the leaders-mentors-teachers (6) applaud like hell, stage
“photo-ops,” and ring the church bells 100 times to commemorate the bravery of their
“followers’ ” explorations!

Duct Tape Rules!
“Andrew Higgins, who built landing craft in WWII, refused to hire graduates of
engineering schools. He believed that they only teach you what you can’t do in engineering
school. He started off with 20 employees, and by the middle of the war had 30,000 working for him. He turned out 20,000 landing craft. D.D.
Eisenhower told me, ‘Andrew Higgins won the war for us. He did it without engineers.’ ”

as it has shown in laptops, Sony will keep trying until it gets
it right.”Business Week (5/01)

“If Microsoft is good at anything, it’s avoiding the trap of worrying about criticism. Microsoft fails constantly.
They’re eviscerated in public for lousy
products. Yet they persist, through version after version, until they get
something good enough. Then they leverage the power they’ve gained in
other markets to enforce their standard.”

personal time in it (to give it credibility & amass data); (3)
depend on dialogue & “plain English,” not obscure,
standardized “instruments.”

Women’s Strengths: Link [rather than rank] workers; favor interactive-collaborative
leadership style [empowerment > top-down decision making]; sustain fruitful collaborations;
comfortable with sharing information; see redistribution of power as victory, not surrender;
favor multi-dimensional feedback; value interpersonal & technical skills, group &
individual contributions equally; readily accept ambiguity; honor intuition as well as pure
“rationality”; inherently flexible; appreciate cultural diversity

“Diversity defines the health and wealth of nations in a new century.
Mighty is the mongrel. … The hybrid is hip. The impure, the mélange, the adulterated, the
blemished, the rough, the black-and-blue, the mix-and-match – these people are inheriting
the earth. Mixing is the new norm. Mixing trumps isolation. It spawns creativity,

“Good management was the most powerful reason [leading firms] failed to
stay atop their industries. Precisely because these firms listened to their customers, invested aggressively in technologies that would

innovations that promised the best returns, they lost their positions of leadership.”

“It was much later that I realized Dad’s secret. He gained respect by giving it. He

“It is impossible to claim that all good teachers use similar techniques: some lecture nonstop
and others speak very little; some stay close to their material and others loose the imagination; some teach with the carrot and others with the stick. But in every instance, good teachers share one trait: a strong sense of personal identity infuses their work. ‘Dr. A is really there when he teaches.’ ‘Mr. B has such enthusiasm for his subject.’ ‘You can tell
that this is really Prof. C’s life.’ ”
Parker Palmer, The Courage to Teach

Leaders aimed on changing their
world identify palpable heroes, who executed palpable projects—they
point to these people and say to the masses, “See, here it is, done by one of your own.” (And then they
“deep-dip” a few of those heroes to demo their seriousness.)

tri-jets to the identical specs and beat each other silly.”

Jeff Bezos: “It’s easy to let the in-box side of your life overwhelm

schedule meetings.”

Robert Miller (Federal-Mogul), on Turnarounds: (1) Tell the truth.
