Born in Baltimore in 1942 "with a lacrosse stick in one hand and oars over my shoulder," Peters resided in California, mainly Silicon Valley (where he was on a list of "100 most powerful people in Silicon Valley"), from 1965–2000. Today, Peters and his wife Susan Sargent live on a 1,600-acre working farm, "always under construction," in Vermont. His two stepsons, Max and Ben Cooper, are "busy changing the world" in Telluride and Brooklyn respectively.

Peters is a civil engineering graduate of Cornell (B.C.E., M.C.E.), where he is included in the book The 100 Most Notable Cornellians and earned an MBA and Ph.D. in business at Stanford; he holds honorary doctorates from institutions that range from the University of San Francisco to the State University of Management in Moscow—and has been honored by dozens of associations in content areas such as management, leadership, quality, human resources, customer service, innovation, marketing, and design. In the U.S. Navy from 1966–1970, he made two deployments to Vietnam (as a combat engineer in the fabled Navy Seabees) and "survived a tour in the Pentagon." He was a White House drug-abuse advisor in 1973–74 and then worked at McKinsey & Co. from 1974–1981, becoming a Partner in 1979; he also co-founded McKinsey's now gargantuan Organization Effectiveness practice. Peters' chief avocations are "brushcutting in the summer, hiking in New Zealand in the winter, reading history books by the hundredweight, collecting weird friends, talking to cab drivers, visiting Venice and racing George Clooney in accumulating frequent flyer miles."

2024 Review
I challenged myself in 2024 to re-read the books that impacted me most in my 20s.
I wasn't sure this book belonged on that list as it mostly remains in my memory as a snarky, amusing audio book and not as any profound experience. But as I picked it up again, I found myself vividly taken back to the summer of 2018. This book did impact me that summer, I just didn't remember to attribute those lessons learned to the book. (Mainly because the lessons underscored many of the lessons learned at my internship that summer.)
These "little big things" are sharp and practical. While originally blog posts, Peters didn't just control/copy what he had already wrote, but clearly spent a lot of time polishing and improving to make it readable in book form.
I am going to start pushing folks in my office to read this one.

2018 Review
I would recommend this book for the snark alone. However, I don't need to because it also contains tons of great advice, interesting stories, and good points. The audio book was excellent; I did not want to put it down.
Tom Peters used his blog posts as the foundation of the book and the upside is that the work contains lots of profound thoughts that are not dragged out. They get straight to the point and if he ever gets repetitive, he has the grace to recognize it.
A few pop shots at books like The World Is Flat and Built To Last only added to my enjoyment of this one.
If you are looking for a business book that won't descend into cliches - but will, in fact, make fun of books that do - this is the one for you.

What I really enjoyed about this book is that it gives sweet and short Little Big things in a way that speaks even to people who are not CEOs or managers. I found only a few chapters to be repeating (they give a summary of the whole book) and only a couple of chapters that were focused on business (and at this point, those were not that interesting to me).

It's a great read for in-between meetings or to take breaks from your workday. That's how I read it and felt it gave me inspiration and energy for the whole day. Perhaps if read for long stretches of time it might seem repetitive but taken in short pills at the start/mid of the day was great.

Some of my highlights:
"48. We Are All in Sales. Period" - "Accept the fact that, like it or not, you are a "career salesperson". So... Master your craft."
"50. Show Up! (It's a Start.)"
"51. Get Up Earlier Than the Next (In This Case) Gal."

This book basically started with Tom Peters' blog. There are 163 short (2-3 pages) on a topic - all things that are "little" or basic when looked at individually, but can have a big impact. The Little Big Things is another way of saying "major in the minor".

Some of my favorite topics were: #22 - Job One - Amuse Yourself, 32 - Thoughtfulness is Free (or close Thereto), 50 - Show Up! (It's a Start), 54 - At Their Service, 58 - "What Do You Think? (the 4 most important words in managemnet), 63 - "Suck Down" for Success, 112 -Now Hear This? Listening is the Ultimate "Core Competence.", 113 - Are you an "18-Second Manager"? (average time it takes to interrupt), 120 - Out-Read 'Em!, 125 - Time Out For...Daydereaming!

Definitely a book to read in little bits at a time and to come back to.

This caught my eye when I was at the library, so this is my first exposure to Tom Peters. I can hardly put it down because I find the authors passion for excellence and taking good care of everyone, infectious, compelling and contagious! I love how that passion turns into repeated sentences and big bolded phrases. A dry dusty business school manual this is not.
My favorite bit so far is the section where he talks about every team needing 3 types of leaders: the visionary, the networker, and the mechanic. The author is clearly the visionary type, and I am more the mechanic type, so there is lots of stuff that I want to know about how to make it work better that the author leaves out. He is always knocking on B-schools, which I assume means business schools. I haven't been to business school but I would hope that is where I could learn all the nuts and bolts of making a business run

Amy is right. This is worth reading just for the snark.

Much of the advice is not only for business, but also is about how to be a decent human and leader.

On the surface sometimes it looks like he contradicts himself. For example, in one chapter he'll urge you to pay attention to minor details, and in the next chapter he'll say "don’t sweat the small stuff." But if you consider what he's getting at and keep the context in mind, it all makes sense.

If you don't get Tom Peters then you are most likely part of the problem. Peters wants change and he wants it now -- not after a study or a report, he wants people to actively do stuff to make organizations better. I wish Peters ran an airline -- I would immediately book a flight to anywhere, for no reason other than it was Tom Peters Airlines.

He also wants us to be better: more engaged, making eye contact and listening -- there's not enough listening. He sites how the average doctor cuts off a patient 18 seconds into a conversation.

Ignore Tom Peters at your own peril.

Blogs rarely make great books. They can summon a slice of insight. This book is founded in blogs and it shows. There are no large, well researched, complex ideas here. There are some useful sentences in this 508 page book, particularly with regard to communication. The book was written in the shadow of the Global Financial Crisis, and the strain of this tough time is evident.

Interesting book. Not magnificent. Solid. Useful.

Great advice, way too many acronyms. My favorites are focusing on excellence and planning time to spend on improving relationships.

Tom Peters emphasizes the small things that actually make all the difference in achieving excellence and are often overlooked.

While there are some great nuggets included, the general content derived from his previous blog posts result in a work that is disjointed and extremely repetitive. If it would have been edited down to about half the size, I would have given this 4.5 stars as I'm a general fan of Peters and his zest for excellence.

Concepts that resonated with me included:

Main thesis of the pursuit of excellence - If not excellence, what? If not excellence now, when?

The notion that "Built to Last" is a flawed notion but rather we should strive for a company or engagement to be a flash of excellence (I.e. Netscape). This dovetails well with the idea that we should strive to make each moment a masterpiece (or cathedral) which leads to excellence rather than a faulty notion that excellence can be sustained for decades.

The quote chapter is excellent - I love the one from Bill Parcels - "Blame nobody, expect nothing, do something"

He also focuses on Servant Leadership and the concept of treating your employees like customers.

The largest impediment to achieving excellence in companies of size is the inability to cross functionally communicate and collaborate.

كتاب مشتت للانتباه من نوع الخط وحجمه. وترجمة جرير ليست جيدة.


اقتباسات:

- تخلص من سلاب المهملات الموجودة أسفل المكاتب، فإن إعادة تدوير المخلفات هي الصناعة الرائجة الآن.

- استراتيجيات وأسرار للنجاة من حالة الركود:
١- احضر إلى العمل مبكراً.
٢- غادر العمل متأخراً.
٣- اعمل باجتهاد أكثر.
٤- ربما تعمل جيداً رغم أنك تحصل على عائد أقل؛ وإذا كان الأمر كذلك، فعليك أن تتكيف مع الظروف المعاكسة بابتسامة حتى لو كان هذا يقتلك من الداخل.
٥- تطوع لفعل المزيد من الأعمال.
٦- ابذل المزيد والمزيد من الجهد. قدم مثالاً جيداً لتبني موقف جيد إزاء العمل.
٧- إذا وهنت عزيمتك. فاعلم أن اجتهادك زائف في العمل.
٨- تدرب كل صباح على إرتداء "وجهك المسرحي" أمام المرآة وفي المرحاض في منتصف اليوم.
٩- قدم معنى جديداً لفكرة "الإدارة المنظورة" ومارسها بالقوة.
١٠- أبد اهتماماً أكثر من المعتاد بنفسك وشجع الآخرين على أن يفعلوا مثلك، فصحة البدن تؤثر بدرجة كبيرة على صحة العقل ومدى الاستجابة للضغوط.
١١- لا تبالِ بالأمور التافهة التي تعترض طريقك.
١٢- حاول أن تنسى "الأيام الخوالي" فالحنين إلى الماضي يؤدي إلى تدمير الذات إلى جانب أنه يبعث على الملل.
١٣- تعلم حيلاً جديدة في مجال عملك.
١٤- أكثر من تقديم الشكر إلى الآخرين عندما تسير الأمور بشكل حسن وتحمل الانتقادات عندما يحدث العكس.
١٥- تعامل مع النجاحات الصغيرة وكأنها انتصارات في كأس العالم واحتفل وامدح العاملين معك بناءً على ذلك.
١٦- كن قدوة لتحمل المسؤولية.
١٧- ثم أدِّ صلاتك.


- إن الرجال أو النساء بصفة خاصة يشعرون "بالسعادة" إذا كانوا يشعرون بالارتياح تجاه أجسادهم. وإذا كانوا يتمتعون باللياقة البدنية، فإنهم بالقطع يشعرون على الأقل بمزيد من السعادة تجاه أجسادهم. إنهم ببساطة لا يستطيعون منع أنفسهم من إبداء مزيد من الإيجابية والتفاؤل. إنه أمر رائع.

- إنني لم أعد أقدم عروضاً تقديمية مطلقاً. إنني أقوم.. من أجل تسديد الديون فقط! برواية القصص. قصة بعد قصة بعد قصة "مرتبطة ببعضها".

- إن الشخص الذي لديه القصة الأفضل هو الذي يفوز! لذا عليك أن تتقن كتابة قصتك!

- "الحضور الدائم" المهم؟ إنه أهم سؤال في الحياة وأهم سؤال لتحقيق النجاح في مسيرتك المهنية. كن دائم الحضور.

- "كن طيباً؛ لأن كل شخص تقابله يحارب في معركة عظيمة"

- وظف المرحين وافصل المتشائمين لأن أصحاب الأمزجة السيئة فإنهم يفسدون عليك العمل! ويفسدون العمل على ١٠٠ شخص من العاملين حولهم.

- لا تدع يوماً واحداً يمر دون القيام بشيء جدير بالذكر من أجل بعض العملاء الداخليين.

- هل تريد تعظيم فرصة التعاون بين الوظائف المتنوعة أو (التميز عبر الوظائف المتنوعة) كما أطلق عليه؟
الإجابة: كون صداقات مع أصحاب الوظائف المختلفة!
اذهب إلى تناول الغداء مع أفراد من الوظائف الأخرى!
اطلب بعض المراجع من أقرانك في الوظائف الأخرى بحيث يمكنك الاطلاع على عالمهم والتحدث بلغتهم.

- تعيش حياة ملؤها الحيوية والنشاط في التسعين من عمرها، لقد كان لديها ٣ أسرار: أولاً، كانت تحيط نفسها بكتب جيدة تتناول أي وكل موضوع. ثانياً، كانت تقضي الوقت مع أناس من مختلف الأعمار. وثالثاً، كانت تقول "نعم".

- سواء كان عمرك ٢٤ أو ٧٤ انخرط مع كل الناس من كل الأعمار. استمر في تعلم أشياء جديدة. وعليك فقط قول "نعم"!

- اعمل بكل جد واجتهاد (كافئ بكرم وعاقب بقسوة وامنح الترقيات واخفض الدرجات) على التعاون عبر الوظائف المختلفة؛ فمعظم الإصلاحات بنسبة ٩٩٪ تتطلب مثل هالتعاون.

- من كثرت محاولاته كثرت مرات فوزه!

- إنني أنادي وأؤيد التغيير التدريجي حتى لو كان الهدف النهائي هو بلوغ عنان السماء. وهذا يعني التعجل في العمل بأسرع مايمكنك وتجربة طريقك نحو النجاح.

- ادخل في شراكة مع عامل يتمتع بشبكة اجتماعية قوية.

- تدرب على احتفالات تبادل الهدايا عليك تقديم الكثير من المساعدة للكثير من الأشخاص في العديد من المناسبات (الإفراط الهادف!) لدرجة أن يكون هناك نقاش صغير حول دعمك عندما تأتي الأوقات العصيبة (النادرة).

- اتقن فن التعامل مع التفاصيل "الكئيبة" للعمليات السرية (خاصة العمليات المالية) التي لا يلقي لها الآخرون بالاً.

- نصحني خبير كبير في السن قائلاًك " ارتدِ أكثر الأزياء تحفظاً في المكان المناسب، ولا تتأخر أبداً عن أي اجتماع لا تعطهم أي عذر صغير لصرف النظر عنك أو التقليل من شأنك".

- عامل محفز.. هناك دراسة تمت للتو تظهر أن الشركات التي تضم في مجلس إدارتها ثلاث نساء على الأقل تظهر تقدماً واضحاً على المستوى المتوسط فيما يتعلق بالمساواة (أفضل بـ١٦.٧٪) وفيما يتعلق بالمبيعات (أفضل بـ١٦.٨٪) وبخصوص رأس المال المستثمر (أفضل بـ١٠٪) .

- كان إدراكي لسر والدي متأخراً جداً. لقد اكتسب الاحترام لأنه كان يمنحه، لقد كان يتحدث ويستمع إلى طفل في الصف الرابع في "سبيرنج فالي" بالطريقة ذاتهت التي كان يحدث بها رجل دين مبجلاً أو رئيس جامعة مرموقاً. لقد كان يهتم فعلاً بشخصيتك وما لديك لتقوله.
من كتاب "الاحترام" لسارة لاورينس لايتفوت.

- حيلتان تضمنان استمرار أي شخص في حديثه:
١- أومئ برأسك دون توقف وعلى نحو متكرر.
٢- سجل ملاحظاتك بتباهِ.

- "افعل في كل يوم شيئاً يخيفك"
إليانور روزفلت.

- أجزل المكافآت لمكتشفي ومزيلي العقبات من جميع المستويات.

- افرض عقوبات على المهولين من شأن العقبات من جميع المستويات.

- "لا يجب أن تكون فقط أفضل ممن هم الأفضل، بل يجب أن تكون الوحيد الذي يفعل ما تفعله"
جيري جارسيا.

- الحماس المحدود يعني عدم وجود تعيين بأية وظيفة. وكذلك لا توجد ترقيات مطلقاً. الخلاصة: إن العنصر الأول على قائمة معايير أية وظيفة (ينبغي) أن يكون: متحمساً!

- وظف أصحاب الأخلاق الحميدة، وكذلك مثيري الشغب. فالأشخاص الغاضبون من الوضع الراهن هم المصدر الأول (وربما الوحيد) للإبداع من أي نوع وحجم. هناك فارق دقيق بين الشخص كثير الشكوى والشخص المبادر (داخلياً وخارجياً) الهادف إلى إصلاح الأمور التي تزعجه، فالمبادر هو من يحمل غضبه إلى عمل.

- تعلم من كل من تقابله.
اعمل جاداً على دراستك في العلاقات! ولا تقع أبداً في فخ "البرود" حتى في أكثر الاجتماعات تبسطاً ، قلد كلينتون واعتبر كل موقف للتواصل فرصة "استراتيجية".

- إن مدى جودة الخدمة المقدمة للعميل تعادل تماماً مدى الخدمة المقدمة للموظف الذي يقدم هذه الخدمة أو العكس.

At some point I read a lot of Tom Peters readings - his books, the blog and even the presentations he shared online. Honestly a lot was never understood but I kept the focus and kept reading. Over a period of time his points started making sense. As I grew up the corporate ladder, notes from his books would come back and make sense.

This book a collection of 165 well written notes is an excellent resource to have on the office table and read it during the much needed work breaks. Every point makes you ponder and see how it can fit into your work area.

Tom Peters was the final speaker at a conference I attended. He was the perfect end to a very long day. He abandoned the podium, wandered the room, shared (and occasionally shouted) his points to a weary audience. I loved it.
This book is not a typical business book. It is the literary equivalent of watching Tom wander around a hall yelling at people. And I like what's he's yelling.

Reading this book is like watching one of Tom Peters' rants -- it's a collection of good (little) ideas, one after another, with no plot, just a ton of stuff that's obvious once he says it and that we all should be doing to make business better.

He explains at the beginning that this isn’t a typical book. It’s a series of examples and rants on excellence and how the little things make a big difference. So start with clear expectations. But despite the variety of situations he covers, the underlying idea comes out strong: excellence has more to do with diligence in the little things than fancy strategies.

This is a book for the 90% of “regular” business. And it’s an amazing book.

Heads Up: He cusses all book long. He does so with panache and avoids the “worst” words. But it’s not a tame, polite book. It’s like discussing excellence over a beer with a passionate, a little bit angry, world-class expert.

Definitely not a light bedtime read. It's definitely geared towards top management, and though each one of us should strive for excellence in all we do, the examples he gives are all sales related or product-driven. Not one I find particularly useful - if your natural bent is to do the bare minimum, and nothing else matters beyond your paycheck, no amount of training can get the information from the head to the heart. Conversely, if you naturally have a leaning towards giving your best in whatever you do, this book is just going to be 163 chapters of "duh!" However, MDs/CEOs and/or HR managers may find this book indispensable.

This not a "traditional" book as it is a collection of blog posts about various aspects of work and to some extent personal living that is all focused on pursuing excellence. The book captures a lot of common knowledge that is often scattered and delivers it in accessible bite-size chunks. I sure learned some new viewpoints :) While I enjoyed the book, I thought the book could have been way shorter and more punchy; may be, it was all the emphasis which did not pack a punch.

In comparison, I liked "Principles" by Ray Dalio better than this one.

There is a lot to this book, as can be imagined by its title.
My take aways are these:
He or she that tries the most stuff wins. Don't get caught up in planning stage of an activity go out and do it! If it doen't work, change something, do it again, and again, and again, etc.

The little things are what make the big things happen.

Treat other people as more valuable then yourself.

These are just off the top of my head as I've just finished the book.
The book is really good for anybody that wants to get ahead in life and work.

Really liked this book, although it got a bit overwhelming by the end. Would take many lifetimes to get close to mastering much of this but that might be the point.

Tom Peters manages to be both practical and outside the box at the same time, and with 40+ years of experience, has a wealth of real world wisdom.

I listened to the audio book, and felt that hearing the author read it brought it alive with his passion.

This is nonfiction-self help, especially if you have your own business. I liked this, but what I found profoundly sad, is that people need to be told these things. Most of this is basic common sense. He has some great quotable quotes though. I struggled with the constant repetition. The audio seemed to amplify that, so 3 stars.

Packed with great insights from the original management guru, Tom Peters. The only reason I did not give it a 5-Star rating was I just found the format was not conducive to ease of reading. The book, as it is laid out, lends itself more to reading bites. I also did not care for the crazy font set-up. As to the content, pure Peters and immensely helpful.

Un libro de pequeñas cosas, que con ellas puedes conseguir grandes cosas.

Solo con el final, ya puedes imaginarte como es: Les deseo una larga vida, pero si el destino le hubiese golpeado ayer, que dirian de ustedes en el funeral? No es un tema sobre el que reflexionar 24/7, pero si vale la pena pensar en ello de cuando en cuando.

This book is awesome. The ideas are mostly straightforward, simple even. But Tom explains then wonderfully, and makes them real. I found reading the book invigorating and affirming. It is challenging me to be better, excellent even, every day.
It's also making me think hard about what I should be achieving with my life, and how I should be living it.

This book is most fitting for average middle managers and top managers looking to improve. There is some good information but it takes a lot of wading through to get to. Also, the author’s voice and tone in the audiobook is uninspiring. I’d rather have stopped this book midway and started another - will not revisit.

Unfortunately the spanish edition from Grupo Norma ISBN-13 : 978-9584528209 is inaccurate for coloquial terms at Mexico dated on 2010. A good for thinking on management paradoxes but focused on a director organizational level - at least on a manager covering no less than seven associates.
