“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

“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?’ ”

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 76: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! Arlington/09.26.2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7fbc/html5/thumbnails/76.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.)
![Page 77: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! Arlington/09.26.2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7fbc/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
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 them into Tomorrowland.
![Page 78: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! Arlington/09.26.2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7fbc/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
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!

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.”

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!

“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.’ ”

“How many artists are there in the room? Would you please raise your hands. FIRST GRADE: En mass 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 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 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-

“Education, at best, is ecstatic. At its best, its most unfettered, the moment of learning is a moment of delight. This
essential and obvious truth is demonstrated for us every day by the
baby and the preschool child. … When joy is absent, the effectiveness of the
learning process falls and falls until the human being is operating hesitantly,
grudgingly, fearfully.”

Education3MLearning is a normal state.Children are learnavores.
Prodigious feats of learning are common as dirt. [Watch an 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.

matters to us. [Salience rules!] Think EBI/LBI: Education by Interest/

International test scores are not correlated with hours-per-year in class.

“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.]

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.

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.

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.

“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.]
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.”

“Ebusiness is about rebuilding the organization from the
ground up. Most companies today are not built to exploit the Internet.
Their business processes, their approvals, their hierarchies, the
number of people they employ … all of that is wrong for running an

“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.”

“The ‘Connection Proclivity’ in women starts early. When asked,
‘How was school today?’ a girl usually tells her mother every
detail of what happened, while a boy might grunt, ‘Fine.’ ”

“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.”

What If …
“What if ExxonMobil or Shell dipped into their credit card database to help commuting women
interview and make a choice of car pool partners?”
“What if American Express made a concerted effort to connect up female empty-nesters
through on-line and off-line programs, geared to help women re-enter the workforce with today’s
skills?”

27 March 2000: email to TP from Shelley Rae Norbeck
“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 Altan … THIS IS EVEN BIGGER THAN THE
INTERNET!

“At Sony we assume that all products of our competitors have basically the same
technology, price, performance and
features. Design is the only thing that differentiates one product from another in the
marketplace.”Norio Ohga

“We don’t have a good language to talk about this kind of thing. In most people’s

Hypothesis: DESIGN is the principal difference
between love and hate!
![Page 256: Tom Peters Seminar2001 We Are in a Brawl with No Rules! Arlington/09.26.2001.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5697bfeb1a28abf838cb7fbc/html5/thumbnails/256.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.

“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.”
Rolf Jensen, Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies

“Most executives have no idea how to add value to a market in the metaphysical

1. Leadership Is a …
Mutual Discovery Process.

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!

“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.”

“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.”
