Tom Peters ”In Search of Excellence”
Ten Good Reasons to “Get Up in the Morning”
1. Empower one and all to vigorously seek WOW! in their work/projects.
2. Blow up “education” as we know it today! Re-tool education to emphasize the arts,
creativity, entrepreneurial behavior.
3. Seek out the bold, the strange, the misfits, the dreamers-and welcome their presence
in our midst.
4. Drag enthusiasm, passion, Technicolor and bold commitment out of the closet! Make
Passion your Passion! (Hint: Passion makes the world go ’round.)
5. Be a champion for: Women Roar! Women Rule!
6. Underscore the importance of/stupendous opportunities associated with the “cool new
markets”: Women, Boomers and Geezers, Hispanics, Greenies, Wellness.
7. Dramatically re-orient healthcare from after-the-fact “fixes” to before-the-fact
attention to prevention-Wellness. (And “kindly suggest” that the “acute-care”
“industry” give some passing thought to Quality.)
8. Ensure that the historically neglected “intangibles” are the prime basis for individual
and enterprise success.
9. Support Globalization as the best-if indeed messy-path to maximum human freedom,
security, and welfare.
10. Swear by the motto: “Reward excellent failures; punish mediocre successes.”
