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

BMcC: (1) Hierarchy vs. “Network organization.” (2)
NWO = “Doctrine as center of gravity”/source of motivation;
distributed support & decision-making;largely self-organizing; “outside the military sphere.”

The Basic Premise.
![Page 12: Tom Peters’ Leadership2002 Leading in Totally Screwed Up Times v02.21.2002](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103007/56815302550346895dc123b7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. Leadership Is a …
Mutual Discovery Process.
![Page 13: Tom Peters’ Leadership2002 Leading in Totally Screwed Up Times v02.21.2002](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103007/56815302550346895dc123b7/html5/thumbnails/13.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!

I am inalterably opposed to “organization change,”
“empowerment,” “motivation.” The goal: to awaken the latent talent
already within, by providing opportunities worthy of the
individual’s investment of her or his most precious resources …
time and emotional commitment.

1A. Leaders …
Cede Control.

“I don’t know.”
![Page 17: Tom Peters’ Leadership2002 Leading in Totally Screwed Up Times v02.21.2002](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103007/56815302550346895dc123b7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“The leader who says ‘I don’t know’ essentially says that the group is facing a new ballgame
where the old tools of logic may be its undoing rather than its salvation. To drop these tools is
not to give up on finding a workable answer. It is only to give up on one means of answering that is ill-suited to the unstable, the unknowable, the
unpredictable. To drop the heavy tools of rationality is to gain access to lightness in the
form of intuitions, feelings, stories, experience, active listening, shared humanity, awareness in
the moment, capability for fascination, awe, novel words and empathy.” - Karl Weick

1B. Leaders Try … Not to Screw
Things Up

difficult for people to get things done.” – P.D.

“Basically [Omnicom’s John] Wren makes aggressive bets on entrepreneurs and
gives them tremendous autonomy, on the assumption that the risk-taking will pay off
in new ideas, connections, businesses, and, yes, revenues and profits. …

Sorrell [of WPP].”

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.’ ”

“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.”Seth Godin, Zooming

Axioms: (1) Pick your battles carefully. (2) Sometimes inaction
promotes sorting out & preserves options.

WILLPOWER RULES! (12.12.2001) “In the end the war is not about statistics, deadlines, short
attention spans of 24 hour news cycles. It’s about will, the projection of will, the clear, unambiguous
determination of the president of the United States and the American people to see this through.—DR.
Given our lack of knowledge, LT investments made on the basis of “animal spirits—a spontaneous
urge to action rather than inaction, not as the outcome of a weighted average of quantitative benefits multiplied
by quantitative probabilities.”—JMK.

“A real superstar is mean in a particular way. He is Michael Jordan or
Cal Ripken, greedy for records and history. Armored and self-contained, his
inner core is a hard knot of physical talent and fierce will. Nothing penetrates that core, and anybody or anything that
gets too close is out of his life.”

“Women speak and hear a language of connection and intimacy, and men
speak and hear a language of status and independence. Men communicate to obtain information, establish their
status, and show independence. Women communicate to create
relationships, encourage interaction, and exchange feelings.”

“TAKE THIS QUICK QUIZ: Who manages more things at once? Who puts more effort into their appearance? Who usually takes care of the details? Who finds it
easier to meet new people? Who asks more questions in a conversation? Who is a better
listener? Who has more interest in communication skills? Who is more inclined to get involved?
Who encourages harmony and agreement? Who has better intuition? Who works with a longer ‘to do’ list? Who enjoys a recap to the day’s events? Who is
better at keeping in touch with others?”

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

“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.”

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

“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

“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.”
Rolf Jensen, Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies

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.)

schedule meetings.”

Robert Miller (Federal-Mogul), on Turnarounds: (1) Tell the truth.
Play it straight. (2) Make decisions. Don’t study things to
