Avevo in casa questo libro da tempo (consigliato probabilmente da qualche docente in qualche appuntamento formativo) ma l’ho preso in mano recentemente solo dopo aver letto “leadership e obiettivi flessibili" di Mascheretti e Pflaeging, che citano spesso Peters.
I due libri sono estremamente diversi, e sicuramente apprezzo di più lo stile del primo, analitico e quasi accademico se confrontato a questo volumetto di Peters. Il libro di Peters è editorialmente un bel prodotto (impaginazione, caratteri, colori, foto etc.) – sembra una brochure di 150 pagine. Peters vuole “vendere” le sue idee, e per farlo utilizza non solo le parole, ma la comunicazione editoriale a 360°. Ne risulta una lettura veloce, che procede a scatti, per concetti. Le idee sono assolutamente coerenti con l’altro libro citato, e quindi non posso che condividerle, e restare stupito per il coraggio con cui un guru del management USA proponga di scardinare le stupide consuetudini con cui purtroppo ogni giorno la maggior parte di noi convive sul proprio luogo di lavoro. Purtroppo Peters lega troppo questi concetti alla new economy (il libro è del 2005) e utilizza come riferimenti sempre le proprie esperienze, legate in prevalenza alla consulenza per grandi multinazionali USA. Al contrario del libro di Mascheretti, quello di Peters mostra quindi il fianco alle eventuali critiche degli scettici, che prontamente potrebbero obiettare che le cose sono diverse nella “fabbrichetta” di 30 dipendenti in Brianza. Peters inoltre si dimostra troppo innamorato delle proprie tesi per sottoporle ad una valutazione critica, e, per quanto trovi condivisibile lo spirito della maggior parte delle cose che afferma, trovo che a volte certe considerazioni appaiano eccessivamente entusiastiche e ottimistiche.

Read this probably 10 years ago. It isn't so much a book, as a "Life's little lessons" book.

Big ideas in a small package. Entertaining, enlightening and practical ideas about what great leaders do.

I can't stand staccato pinball style, except, for some odd reason, when it comes to Tom Peters. He and his messages resonate with me. Not all of them, of course, but many more than the average book. MANY more. Nothing earth-shattering here, just plain sense...wrapped in a Dorling Kindersley package which is the perfect format for Peters.

Lots of sticky notes, underlines, and takeaways. Recommended.

I like Tom Peter's approach, using a lot of quick punches to pound home a change in thinking. The novel graphics and his intentional break from the old, tired words (e.g. "motivation") are welcome and illustrative. This is a useful book, worth reading in its entirety and then convenient for keeping as a handy reference or for quick inspiration.

TOM PETERS isn't a boring businessperson. Most business books are boring, but not Tom Peters.

His books are excellent and they’re full of passionate, emotional language and words and emotional passionate ideas about how to make business into something more, something special, not just greedy.

I always enjoy Tom Peter's irreverent writing style and layout but this one was especially "all over the place". Still, as always, there are great insights and thought-provoking snippets to help readers think through their current leadership approach and look toward next steps in their career. I liked it.
