December 9, 2005: “Ogre to Slay? Outsource It to
Chinese” (New York Times, page 1—news section). The
“factory”: Fuzhou, China. The workers: youngsters logging 12-hour shifts. Their clientele: youngsters from “Seoul to San Francisco.” The “work”: The
Chinese youngsters are playing the early levels of video games for their affluent “clients,” who want to
avoid the pain and time associated with those annoying first few levels.

“A focus on cost-cutting and efficiency has helped many organizations weather the
downturn, but this approach will ultimately
render them obsolete. Only the constant pursuit of innovation can ensure long-term success.” —Daniel Muzyka, Dean,
Sauder School of Business, Univ of British Columbia (FT/09.17.04)

“How we feel about the evolving future tells us who we are as individuals and as a civilization: Do we search for
stasis—a regulated, engineered world? Or do we embrace dynamism—a world of constant
creation, discovery and competition? Do we
value stability and control? Or evolution and learning? Do we think that progress requires a central
blueprint? Or do we see it as a decentralized, evolutionary process? Do we see mistakes as
permanent disasters? Or the correctable byproducts of experimentation? Do we crave
predictability? Or relish surprise? These two poles, stasis and dynamism, increasingly define our political, intellectual and cultural landscape.” —Virginia Postrel, The
Future and Its Enemies

Excellence2006: The Bedrock Baker’s Dozen
1. A Bias For Action Is Job One! (Construct a Discipline/Culture of EXECUTION!)
2. DECENTRALIZATION! ACCOUNTABILITY! (Tom’s “Top Two”, 1965-2005.)
3. Fail. Forward. Fast. (“Reward Excellent Failures, Punish Mediocre Successes.”)
4. “Metabolic Management” Matters! (Hustle! Adapt! EAT CHANGE! Win the “O.O.D.A. Loop” War—Confuse Your Competitors!)
5. INNOVATE or Die. (“Game-changers” or Bust! Lead the Customer! Just Shout “NO” to Imitation!)
6. A Damn Good Product. (Pursue “Dramatic Difference.”)
7. A Damn Cool Product. (Design Rules!)
8. Ride the Value Added Curve to the Sky! (Sell “GamechangerSolutions”; Provide
“Scintillating Experiences”; Become a “Dream Merchant”; Strive to Be a “Lovemark.”)
9. Relentlessly Pursue the “Big Two” Markets. (WOMEN Buy Everything BOOMERS & GEEZERS Have All the Money!)
10. Best “Talent”/Roster Wins! (HR Rules! Everyone a Leader! Women Lead Best! “Weird” Matters Most! A Workplace to Brag About! Educate for Creativity!)
11. Demanded: Radical Technology Strategies! (“Incrementalism” Is for Wimps!)
12. Hard Is Soft! Soft Is Hard! (People! Passion! Enthusiasm! Wow! INTEGRITY! TRUST! Good Citizenship.)
13. Accept No Less Than EXCELLENCE! (Excellence, Pursuit thereof, Is the #1 Thing That Vaults Us Out of Bed in the Morning)

Re-imagine! Speech: Story Line in 100 Words or Less
1. Wildly altered context (technology, China-India, global terrorism, etc)2. Only answer: adaptive skills and bold-breathtaking innovation (top-line focus rather than cost-cutting focus)3. Race way, way up the value-added curve (implemented “game-
altering solutions” rather than “services,” “experiences” rather than “transactions,” and much more)
4. As part of value-added exercise, pursue Ripe & Enormous “new” markets—Women, Boomers & Geezers
5. Radical (!!!) use of IS-IT6. A “Roster” of Weird & Wondrous & Entrepreneurial “Talent”
engaged in “Wow Projects”7. “Metabolic Leadership” (Passionate-Radical Leaders who instill a
Discipline of Execution, a Quick Tempo-Adaptive Culture and an appetite to “Eat Radical Change for Breakfast”)

“Not a single company that qualified as having
made a sustained transformation ignited
its leap with a big acquisition or merger.
Moreover, comparison companies—those that failed to make a leap or, if they did, failed to sustain it—often tried to make themselves
great with a big acquisition or merger. They failed to grasp the simple truth that while you can buy your way to growth, you cannot buy
your way to greatness.” —Jim Collins/Time/2004

“This is an essay about what it takes to create and sell something remarkable. It is a plea for originality, passion, guts and daring. You can’t be remarkable by following someone else who’s remarkable. One way to
figure out a theory is to look at what’s working in the real world and determine what the successes have in common. But what could the Four Seasons and Motel 6 possibly have in common? Or Neiman-Marcus and Wal*Mart? Or Nokia (bringing out new hardware every 30 days or so) and
Nintendo (marketing the same Game Boy 14 years in a row)? It’s like trying to drive looking in the rearview mirror. The thing that all these
companies have in common is that they have nothing in common. They are outliers. They’re on the fringes. Superfast or superslow. Very
exclusive or very cheap. Extremely big or extremely small. The reason it’s so hard to follow the leader is this: The leader is the leader precisely because he
did something remarkable. And that remarkable thing is now taken—so it’s no longer remarkable
when you decide to do it.” —Seth Godin, Fast Company/02.2003

“Cheap” vs “Cool”: The Options
Cheap: Nowhere to go except “more cheap”! Problem: the inevitable “next
Dell”/“next /Wal*Mart” arrives with new biz model; meanwhile you drift toward more complexity/ sluggishness, especially if
undertake sizeable mergers.
Cool: From “Cool” (with reasonable costs) to “Stay Cool”/“Better” vs “Different.”
Continue/ Accelerate charge Up the VA Ladder. Tactics: (1) “Up the experience ladder,” (2)
Gamechanger Innovation. If not: “Cool” drifts/staggers toward untenable “Middle.”

Why Do I love Freaks?
(1) Because when Anything Interesting happens … it was a freak who did it. (Period.) (2) Freaks are fun. (Freaks are also a pain.) (Freaks are never boring.) (3) We need freaks. Especially in freaky times. (Hint: These are freaky times, for you & me & the CIA & the Army & Avon.) (4) A critical mass of freaks-in-our-midst automatically make us-who-are-not-so-freaky at least somewhat more freaky. (Which is a Good Thing in freaky times—see immediately above.) (5) Freaks are the only (ONLY) ones who succeed—as in, make it into the history books. (6) Freaks keep us from falling into ruts. (If we listen to them.) (We seldom listen to them.) (Which is why most organizations are in ruts. Make that chasms.)

11. Scour the world for Ingenious Alliance Partners— especially exciting start-ups (Pfizer)
12. Acquire for Innovation, not Market Share (Cisco, GE)

The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16
*Niche-aimed. (Never, ever “all things for all people,” a “mini-Wal*Mart.)
*Never attack the monsters head on! (Instead steal niche business and lukewarm customers.)
*“Dramatically Different”
(La Difference ... within our community, our industry regionally, etc … is as obvious as the end of one’s nose!) (THIS IS WHERE MOST MIDGETS COME UP SHORT.)
*Compete on value/experience/intimacy, not price. (You ain’t gonna beat the behemoths on cost-price in 9.99 out of 10 cases.)
*Emotional bond with Clients, Vendors. (BEAT THE BIGGIES ON EMOTION/CONNECTION!!)

The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16
*Hands-on, emotional leadership. (“We are a great & cool & intimate & joyful & dramatically different team working to transform our Clients lives via Consistently Incredible Experiences!”)
*A community star! (“Sell” local-ness per se. Sell the hell out of it!)
*An incredible experience, from the first to last moment—and then in the follow-up! (“These guys are cool! They ‘get’ me! They love me!”)
*DESIGN DRIVEN! (“Design” is a premier weapon-in-pursuit-of-the sublime for small-ish enterprises, including the professional services.)

The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16
*Employer of choice. (A very cool, well-paid place to work/learning and growth experience in at least the short term … marked by notably progressive policies.) (THIS IS EMINENTLY DO-ABLE!!)
*Sophisticated use of information technology. (Small-“ish” is no excuse for “small aims”/execution in IS/IT!)
*Web-power! (The Web can make very small very big … if the product-service is super-cool and one purposefully masters buzz/viral marketing.)
*Innovative! (Must keep renewing and expanding and revising and re-imagining “the promise” to employees, the customer, the community.)

The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16
*Brand-Lovemark* (*Kevin Roberts) Maniacs! (“Branding” is not just for big folks with big budgets. And modest size is actually a Big Advantage in becoming a local-regional-niche “lovemark.”)
*Focus on women-as-clients. (Most don’t. How stupid.)
*Excellence! (A small player … per
me … has no right or reason to exist unless they are in Relentless Pursuit of Excellence. One earns the right—one damn day and client experience at a time!—to beat the Big Guys in your chosen niche!)

The PSF35: The Work & The Legacy
1. CRYSTAL CLEAR POINT OF VIEW (Every Practice Group: “If you can’t explain your position in eight words or less, you don’t have a position”—Seth Godin)2. DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE (“We are the only ones who do what we do”—Jerry Garcia)3. Stretch Is Routine (“Never bite off less than you can chew”—anon.)4. Eye-Appetite for Game-changer Projects (Excellence at Assembling “Best Team”—Fast) 5. “Playful” Clients (Adventurous folks who unfailingly Aim to Change the World)6. Small “Uneconomic” Clients with Big Aims7. Life Is Too Short to Work with Jerks (Fire lousy clients)8. OBSESSED WITH LEGACY (Practice Group and Individual: “Dent the Universe”—Steve Jobs)9. Fire-on-the-spot Anyone Who Says, “Law/Architecture/Consulting/ I-banking/ Accounting/PR/Etc. has become a ‘commodity’ ”10. Consistent with #9 above … DO NOT SHY AWAY FROM THE WORD (IDEA) “RADICAL”

The PSF35: The Client Experience
11. Always team with client: “full partners in achieving memorable results” (Wanted: “Chimeras of Moonstruck Minds”!)12. We will seek assistance Anywhere to assemble the Best-in- Planet Team for the Project13. Client Team Members routinely declare that working with us was “the Peak Experience of my Career”14. The job’s not done until implementation is “100.00% complete” (Those who don’t “get it” must go)15. IMPLEMENTATION IS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL THE CLIENT HAS EXPERIENCED “CULTURE CHANGE”16. IMPLEMENTATION IS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL SIGNIFICANT “TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER” HAS TAKEN PLACE-ROOT (“Teach a man to fish …”)17. The Final Exam: DID WE MAKE A DRAMATIC, LASTING, GAME-CHANGING DIFFERENCE?

Up or Out (Based on “Legacy”/Mentoring as much as “Billings”/“Rainmaking”)22. Slide the Old Aside/Make Room for Youth (Find oldsters new roles?)23. TALENT IS OBSESSED WITH RENEWAL FROM DAY #1 TO DAY #“R” [R = Retirement]24. Office/Practice Leaders Evaluated Primarily on Mentoring-Team Building Skills25. A “PROPRIETARY” TALENT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS (GE)26. Team Leadership Skills Valued Early27. Partner with B.I.W. [Best In World] Outsiders as Needed and to Infuse Different Views

The PSF35: The Firm & The Brand
28. EAT-SLEEP-BREATHE-OOZE INTEGRITY (“My life is my message”—Gandhi)29. Excellence+ in EXECUTION … 100.00% of the Time (No such thing as a “small sins”/World Series Ring to the Batboy!) 30. “Drop everything”/“Swarm” to Support a Harried-On The Verge Team31.

You’ve got to be out there on the lunatic fringe”—Jack Welch)

Furniture vs. Dreams
“We do not sell ‘furniture’
at Domain. We sell dreams. This is
accomplished by addressing the half-formed needs in our
customers’ heads. By uncovering these needs, we, in essence, fill in the
blanks. We convert ‘needs’ into ‘dreams.’
Sales are the inevitable result.” — Judy George, Domain Home Fashions

“The sun is setting on the Information Society—even before we have fully adjusted to its demands as
individuals and as companies. We have lived as hunters and as farmers, we have worked in factories and now we
live in an information-based society whose icon is the
computer. We stand facing the fifth kind of society:
the Dream Society. … Future products will have
to appeal to our hearts, not to our heads. Now is the time to add emotional value to products and services.”

“We don’t have a good language to talk about this kind

“Having spent a century or more focused on other goals—solving manufacturing problems, lowering costs,
making goods and services widely available, increasing convenience, saving energy—we are increasingly
engaged in making our world special. More people in more aspects of life are drawing pleasure and meaning from the way their persons, places and things look and
feel. Whenever we have the chance, we’re adding sensory, emotional
appeal to ordinary function.”

“With its carefully conceived mix of colors and textures,

about the aesthetic imperative. … ‘Every Starbucks store is carefully designed to enhance the quality of everything

Better By Design: Tom’s Design49
1. There are only 2 rules.2. Rule #1: You can’t beat Wal*Mart on price or China on cost.3. Rule #2: See Rule #1.4. Econ Survival = Innovate and Sprint Up the Value-addedChain … OR DIE!5. DESIGN (WRIT LARGE) (“DESIGN MINDFULNESS”) IS THE “SOUL”/ENGINE OF THE NEW VALUE-ADDED IMPERATIVE.6. Design as Soul-Core Competence #1 is a “cultural imperative,” not a “programmatic” or “process” or“throw $$$ at it” issue!7. CDEs (Culturally Design-driven Enterprises) use Design-Experiences-Dream Merchantry-Lovemarks as the LeadDog(s) in the Olympian Innovation-“Strategy”-ValueProposition Struggle. 8. “Dream Merchant” makes as much sense for IBM or GE or UPS as for Starbucks!

Better By Design: Tom’s Design49
9. At CDEs, Design is the Heart of the “Emotional Branding” Process.10. CDEs wholeheartedly embrace ideas such as “mystery,” “surprise,” sensuality.”11. CDEs love “WOW!” and “B.H.A.G.” and “Insanely Great”and “Gasp-worthy” and “Passion” and “Love”! (Axiom: Extreme language breeds extreme products and services.)12. Staff at CDEs laugh and cry a lot! (Axiom: “Calm” enterprise = Crappy enterprise.)13. CDEs love “strange” and “weird.”14. CDEs scour the earth for “strange” and “weird” people. (CDEs know: FREAKS RULE!)15. CDEs are “extremists.” (KR: “Avoid moderation.”)16. CDEs know that … EXCELLENCE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!(We must use non-linear measures!)

17. CDEs seek Discontinuities. (JG: “We don’t want to be the best of the best, we want to be the only ones who do what we do.”) 18. CDEs are “respectful” of their customers, but not slaves to their customers! CDEs … LEAD THEIR CUSTOMERS! (Axioms: “Listening to customers” is over-rated! Focus groups suck!)19. But: “Lead” customers are an entirely different matter!20: Yet: CDEs turn “customers” into “Raving Fans.” (Think: “Tattoo Brand”!)21. CDEs abide by Phil Daniels’ Credo: “REWARD EXCELLENT FAILURES. PUNISH MEDIOCRE SUCCESSES.”22. At CDEs the Design Director is at least an Exec Vice President, a Member of the Senior Executive Team, perhaps on the Board, and has an office within 10 meters of the CEO (unless she is the CEO). 23. Design Directors at large companies not worth $5,000,000 per year aren’t worth hiring! (DD$21M.)

24. Great Designers are “10,000X” better than “good designers.”25. At CDEs CFOs are never former CFOs! The CEO always doubles as the Chief Innovation Officer.26. CDEs are “Top-line Obsessed.”27. CDE execs know there is a chasm between “excellent design” and “game-changer design.”28. Gasp-worthy design is a moving target!29. No Broadway shows last forever. So too, great designers!(Hire them! Pay them! Cherish them! Nurture them! Fire them!)30. Great design wrestles incessantly with the issue of “cool” and/versus “usability.”! 31. Designers “get” the stunning principles of Wabi Sabi. (Great designers side with Chris Alexander against the A.I.A.)32. CDEs “get” the “feminine side” of life.

Better By Design: Tom’s Design49
33. CDEs Know I: WOMEN BUY EVERYTHING!34. CDEs Know II: MEN ARE INCAPABLE OF DESIGNING PRODUCTS FOR WOMEN. 35. CDEs understand that “We’re getting’ older”—and vigorously embrace the Boomer-Geezer market.36. CDEs understand: Boomers-Geezers have “ALL THE MONEY” … are by and large healthy … and have 20 or so years left!37. CDEs wonder: Can 28-year-olds design “experiences” for 68-year-olds?38. CDEs seek the sweetest “sweet spot”: Woman-Boomer-Greenie-Wellness.39. “Design-mindfulness” is as apparent in the CDE’s facilities as in its products-services!

Better By Design: Tom’s Design49
40. “Design mindfulness” is as apparent in HR and Engineering and Logistics and IS/IT as in NPD.41. CDEs will settle for nothing less then “beautiful,” “gasp-worthy” Business Processes/Infrastructure!42. CDEs obsess on K.I.S.S. (Beware creeping feature-itis!) (450/8.)43. “Design-mindfulness”/“aesthetic sensibility” is a requisite for Every Hire—including waiters and waitresses in Fast Food outlets and Housekeepers in hotels. 44. Gasp-worthy Design is as essential to “service companies” as to “manufacturers.”45. Gasp-worthy design can transform any “commodity,” including ag!

Better By Design: Tom’s Design49
46. DESIGN MANIA IS A NATIONAL ECONOMIC ISSUE OF THE FIRST ORDER.47. “Small” is no disadvantage in an Age of Creativity!48. There is no such thing as a “National Design Advantage” unless the current school system is Destroyed & Re-imagined—to emphasize creativity and risk-taking and acceptance of failure. (Design Mindfulness … the suppression thereof … typically begins at Age 4.)
49. How sweet it is! (If
your head is screwed on right.)

*Systems design is not innocent: It is the Ultimate Power Game!*She/He who controls the primary measures … Rules the World!

The Planning, Planning Systems, Intelligence & Measures50
*“Budgets” as we’ve known them are more than a “wretched waste”: They are Danger #1 in Turbulent Times!*Budgets are exercises in Negotiated Timidity.*“Managing to budget” is a/the Mortal Sin.*Plan, then burn the plan! (Koppers.)*“Continuous” and “rolling” are superb ideas … but beware so much “plasticity” that one forgets the starting point! Hard. Comparative datas is a “very good thing.”

The Planning, Planning Systems, Intelligence & Measures50
*“Intelligence” is always obvious after the fact.*B.I.: Remember HUMINT!!*Great BizIntelligence depends on Freaks & Whackos, from Langley to the Board Room. (I.e., Be Incredibly Eclectic in terms of sources of Intelligence.)*All intelligence gathering is a Political Activity. (C.f. CIA, FBI.)*B.I. is about “outliers.” (?? If you can measure it, it’s not on the leading edge??)

The Planning, Planning Systems, Intelligence & Measures50
*If a system/measure gives you a stupid answer, it’s probably a stupid system/measure.*Measures should routinely produce Surprises (if not, discard them).

The Planning, Planning Systems, Intelligence & Measures50
*Intangibles rule! *Measure intangibles! (!!!!)*Be(very)ware the tangibles becoming Total Reality, thence crowding out Real Reality.*Constantly review what’s not being measured. (Ever tried to drive a car using only the dashboard?)*“Models” are incredibly Stupid (very rough approximations of reality): Make sure everyone understands that!*Business is Art!

The Planning, Planning Systems, Intelligence & Measures50
*Perform systems & Measures post-mortems after major fiascos (“Why didn’t this stick out like a sore thumb?”)
*The half-life of Measures is 3 years. (Effective “gaming” begins in year #2, reaches a crescendo by year #4.)

The Planning, Planning Systems, Intelligence & Measures50
*Planning systems should support execution! (PERT/CPM.)
*Uniformity of measurement/presentation across units is fantastic up to a point. *“Let a thousand flowers bloom, let a hundred schools contend”: Let a 100 flowers bloom, let a dozen schools contend.*Selection of measurements is one of the Most Creative Acts in the Enterprise!*Are there Freaks aplenty in the Systems & Measures & Intelligence activities?

“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

“As a hunter, a man needed vision that would allow him to zero in on targets in the distance … whereas a woman needed eyes to allow a wide arc of
vision so that she could monitor any predators sneaking up on the nest.
This is why modern men can find their way effortlessly to a distant pub, but
can never find things in fridges, cupboards or drawers.”

“Female hearing advantage contributes significantly to what
is called ‘women’s intuition’ and is one of the reasons why a woman
can read between the lines of what people say. Men, however,

“Women come out better on almost every count as
investors … They are less likely to hold a losing investment too long, and
less likely to wait too long to sell a winner; they’re also less likely to put too much money into a single investment or
to buy a reputedly hot stock without doing sufficient research.” —The Merrill report:

Women poker players: More cautious. More patient. More disciplined. Bluff
with more attention to the odds. More notes [on-line]. Learn more and
improve faster. Less emotional, less ego. Know more about men than men
do about them; more effective at exploiting men’s attitudes.

Al*: “I knew my stuff—and it was
damn good. What I finally figured out, after
a string of ‘unfair’ setbacks,
was that I wasn’t a good salesman. That’s
when I started studying top salesmen, and
that’s when I started to meet with success.”

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.)

sidelines.)

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.)

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 you into Tomorrowland.

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!
![Page 395: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/395.jpg)
“Success or Failure”? Try Instead “Optimism or Failure”!
From Martin Seligman’s Learned Optimism: “I believe the traditional wisdom is incomplete. A composer can have all the talent of a
Mozart and a passionate desire to succeed, but if he believes he cannot compose music, he will come to nothing. He will not try hard
enough. He will give up too soon when the elusive right melody takes too long to materialize. Success requires persistence, the
ability to not give up in the face of failure. I believe that … OPTIMISTIC EXPLANATORY STYLE … is the key to persistence. “The optimistic-explanatory-style theory of success says that in
order to choose people for success in a challenging job, you need to select for three characteristics: (1) Aptitude. (2) Motivation. (3)
Optimism. All three determine success.” (Note: Seligman’s extensive work with Met Life salespeople, among others, proved out the above—in spades.)
![Page 396: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/396.jpg)
Pessimist: Good things … “I’m worthless, but got lucky on this one.” Bad things … “I’m a bozo who deserved my sorry fate.”
Optimist: Good things … “I deserved that; I’m the cat’s meow.” Bad things … “I’m the cat’s meow, but the cat had an unlucky day;
tomorrow will be better for sure.”

89 Ridiculously Obvious Thoughts About Selling Stuff
Tom Peters/24January2006
![Page 398: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/398.jpg)
1. “Strategy” overrated, simply “doin’ stuff” underrated. See Kelleher and Bossidy. (“We have a ‘strategic plan,’ it’s called doing things.”—HK) Action has it’s own logic—ask Genghis Khan, Rommel, COL John Boyd, U.S. Grant, Patton, W.T. Sherman.2. What are you personally great at? (Key word: “great.”) Play to strengths! “Distinct or Extinct.” You should aim to be “outrageously good”/B.I.W. at a niche area (or more).3. Are you a “personality,” a de facto “brand” in the industry? The Dr Phil of …4. Opportunism (with a little forethought) mostly wins. (“Successful people are the ones who are good at Plan B.”)5. Little starts can lead to big wins. Most true winners—think search & Google—start as something small. Many big deals—Disney & Pixar—could have been done as little-er, less expensive deals if you’d had the nerve to step out before the value became obvious.6. Non-obvious targets have great potential. Among many other things, everybody goes after the obvious ones. Also, the “non-obvious” are often good partners for technology experiments.7.The best relationships are often (usually?) not “top to top”! (Often the best: hungry division GMs eager to make a mark.)
![Page 399: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/399.jpg)
8. It’s relationships, stupid—deep and from multiple functions.9. In any business such as GE’s you must become an avid student of “the politics,” the incentives and constraints, mostly non-economic facing all of the players. Politicians are usually incredibly logical—if you (deeply!) understand the matrix in which they exist.10. Relationships from within our firm are as important—often more important—as those from outside—again broad is as important as deep. Allies—avid supporters!—within and from non-obvious places may be more important than relationships at the Client organization. Goal: an “insanely unfair ‘market share’” of insiders’ time devoted to your projects!11.Gratuitous comment: Lunches with good friends are typically a waste of time. 12.Interesting outsiders are essential to innovative proposal and sales teams. An “exciting” sales-proposal team is as important as a prestigious one.13. Is the proposal-sales team weird enough—weirdos come up with the most interesting, game-changer ideas. Period.14. Lunch with at least one weirdo per month. (Goal: always on the prowl for interesting new stuff.)
![Page 400: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/400.jpg)
15.Don’t short-change (time, money, depth) the proposal process. Miss one tiny nuance, one potential incentive that “makes my day” for a key Client player—and watch the whole gig be torpedoed. 16. “Sticking with it” sometimes pays, sometimes not—it takes a lot of tries to forge the best path in. Sometimes you never do, after a literal lifetime. 17. Women are simply better at relationships—don’t get hung up on what industries-countries women can’t do.18. Work incessantly on your “story”—most economic value springs from a good story (think Perrier)! In sensitive public or quasi-public negotiations, a compelling story is of immense value—politics is about the tension among competing stories. (If you don’t believe me, ask Karl Rove or James Carville.) (“Storytelling is the core of culture.”—Branded Nation: The Marketing of Megachurch, College Inc., and Museumworld, James Twitchell) (Hint: Engineers usually stink at this.)19. Risk Assessment & Risk Management is more about stories than advanced math—and of incredible value in long-term deals.20. Good listeners are good sales people. Period. 21. GREAT LISTENERS ARE GREAT SALES PEOPLE. (Listening “skills” are hard to learn and subject to immense effort in pursuit of Mastery. A virtuoso “listener” is as rare as a virtuoso cello player.)
![Page 401: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/401.jpg)
22. Things that are funny to me (American) are often-mostly not funny to those in other cultures. (Humor is as fine-edged as it gets, and rarely travels.23. You don’t know Jack Squat about other people’s cultures—especially if you are a typically myopic American. (Like me.)24. Are you a great interviewer? It’s a make or break skill. (Think Barbara Walters—ie her skill at extracting unwanted truths from pros in persona-protection … in front of 10s of millions of people.)25. Are you a great (not merely “good”) presenter? Mastering presentation skills is a life’s work—with stupendous payoff.26. Are you good at flowers (Harvey Mackay’s “Mackay 66”—what you should know about a Client.)27. You can’t do it all—be clear at what you are good at, bad at, indifferent at. Hubris sucks.28. The numbers will more or less take care of themselves over the long haul—if the relationship/s is/are solid gold.29. Don’t waste your time on jerks—it’ll rarely work out in the mid- to long-term.
![Page 402: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/402.jpg)
30. Genius is walking away from lousy “scores” (deals) and living through the attendant heat. Big Business is the premier home to Big Egos overpaying by a factor of 2 to 22 with billions at stake. (Think Jerry Levin.)31. You haven’t a clue as to how this situation will actually play out—be prepared to move fast in a different direction.32. Keep your word. 33. There is such a thing as a “good loss”—if you’ve tested something new and developed good relationships. A half-dozen honorable, ingenious losses over a ten-year period can pave the way for a Big Victory in year 11.34. Underpromise (ie don’t over-promise; ie cut yourself/GE a little slack) even if it costs you business—winning is a long-term affair. Over-promising is Sign #1 of a lack of integrity. You will pay the piper.35. Think “legacy”—what the hell is all this really about for you and the world? (“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”—Mary Oliver) 36. Keep it simple! (Damn it!) Yup, even in your business. If you can’t explain it in a phrase, a page … you haven’t got it right yet.
![Page 403: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/403.jpg)
37. Know more than the next guy. Homework pays. (of course it’s obvious—but in my work it is too often honored in the breach.)38. Regardless of project size, winning or losing invariably hinges on a raft of “little stuff.” Little stuff is and always has been everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!—or, “one man’s little stuff is another man’s 7.6 Richter deal-breaker.39. In public settings, face saving is all. When something changes, allow the other guy to come out looking like a winner, especially if he has lost.40. Don’t hold grudges. (it is the ultimate in small mindedness—and incredibly wasteful and ineffective. There’s always tomorrow.)41. IT’S ALWAYS “THE POLITICS” —wee private-sector deal or giant public sector deal. (Every player, small or large, is angling for something. Master the calculus of advantage.)42. To beat the “turnover problem” in key Client posts amidst long negotiations, invest outrageous amounts of time building a wide & deep set of relationships with mid-level (& lower!!) “plodding” “careerists.” The invisible careerists are the bedrock upon which repeated success is built! (The “Dale Moss Axiom.” And mine from Capitol Hill.)
![Page 404: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/404.jpg)
43. “Little people” often have Big Friends.44. This is not war, damn it. All parties can win (or not lose, anyway). And losing bidders can walk away from a deal with increased respect for you and your team.45. Never, ever dump on a competitor—the Tom Watson mantra.46. Never for get the “Law of Cousins!” In developing nations in particular, power brokers at all levels are at least cousins! Consideration for a second cousin can pay off big time.47. Speaking of “favors,” jail sucks.48. Work hard beats work smart. (Mostly.)49. REPEAT: He/she who has the most-best relationships wins. Relationships are the essence of the Work of the Salesperson. The hard … and long … work of the salesperson. 50. Mano v mano “hardball” is seldom the answer—end runs based on deeper-wider networks win. If the deal is wired from below, truly wired, than the so-called “big negotiations” are essentially irrelevant.
![Page 405: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/405.jpg)
51. If the deal is wired from below, truly wired, than the so-called “big negotiations” are essentially irrelevant.52. If every quarter is a “little better” than the prior quarter—then you are not taking any serious risks. 53. Phones beat email. 54. A THREE MINUTE CALL TODAY CAN AVOID A GAME-LOSER OF A FIASCO NEXT MONTH. There was always a time when a little thing could have been addressed that headed off a subsequent big thing. As to avoiding that call, didn’t someone say, “Pride goeth before the fall”?55. Be hyperorganized about relationship management—you are in the anthropology business. Study the great pols! Brilliant NRM (network relationship management) is not accidental! It is not catch-as-catch can. (Football analogies are cute—but deep political understanding pays the private-school tuition.)56. Think/ obsess on ROIR (Return On Investment In Relationships).
![Page 406: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/406.jpg)
57. “THANK YOU” NOTES: World’s highest-return investment!58. The way to anyone’s heart: Doing a nice thing for their kid. (But, gawd, does this take a gentle touch.)59. Scoring off other people is stupid. Winners are always in the business of creating the maximum # of winners—among adversaries at least as much as among “partners.”60. Your colleagues’ successes are your successes. Period. (Trust me, my greatest personal success—financially as well as artistically—has been creating a bigger pond in which everyone wins, even if my “market share” is down.)61. Lend a helping hand, especially when you don’t have the time. E.g. share relationships—the more you give away the more you get in return (just like they say in church). 62. Listen up: “It was much later that I realized Dad’s secret. He gained respect by giving it. He talked and listened to the fourth-grade kids in Spring Valley who shined shoes the same way he talked and listened to a bishop or a college president. He was seriously interested in who you were and what you had to say.”—Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, Respect
![Page 407: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/407.jpg)
63. Mentoring is a thrill—and the practical payoff is enormous. The best mentors have the whole world working its buns off for them!64. Hire for enthusiasm. Promote for enthusiasm. Cherish enthusiasm. Remove non-enthusiasts—they are cancers. (“Nothing is so contagious as enthusiasm.”—Samuel Taylor Coleridge.) (“A man without a smiling face must not open a shop.” —Chinese Proverb.)65. It’s always your problem—you sold it to them.66. Don’t get too hung up on “systems integration”—first, the individual bits have got to work.67. Systems Integration is important. But: For God’s sake don’t over promise on “systems integration”—it’s nigh on impossible to deliver. “Systems”/“Solutions” selling means grappling directly with “culture change” in Client organizations. (“The business of selling is not just about matching viable solutions to the customers that require them. It’s equally about managing the change process the customer will need to go through to implement the solution and achieve the value promised by the solution”—Jeff Thull, The Prime Solution: Close the Value Gap, Increase Margins, and Win the Complex Sale)
![Page 408: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/408.jpg)
68. Shit happens. That’s what they pay you for. (A man without a smiling face must not open a shop.” —Chinese Proverb)69. This is not a “GE sale”—it is a Joe Jones/Jane Jones sale. YOU ARE THE “BRAND” THE CLIENT BUYS. (Mostly.)70. GOAL #1: MAKE YOUR CLIENT A HERO—YOU ARE NOT THERE TO GET CREDIT. (“Taking credit” is for ego-maniacs.)71. “Decent margins,” over the mid- to long-term are a product of better relationships, not better negotiating skill. (Mostly.)72. In the immortal words of Larry Bossidy, more or less, “Realism rocks.” (A little truth goes a long way.)73. Work like hell to get a rep as an expert, to become an industry resource. 74. Work the association angle for all its worth—it may take a decade to pay off.75. Pay your dues in the client org and in your own org!76. It’s all bloody tactics.
![Page 409: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/409.jpg)
77. You must … LOVE …. the product! (Period.)78. Don’t over-schedule. “Running late” is inexcusable at any level of seniority; it is the ultimate mark of self-importance mixed with contempt.79. It takes time to get to know people. (Duh.) 80. The very idea of “efficiency” in relationship development is … STUPID.81. MBWA (still) rules.82. “Preparing the soil” is the “first 98 percent.”83. WORK THE PHONES!84. 5K miles for a 5-minute meeting often makes sense. (Thanks, Mark.) 85. Beware complexifiers and complicators. (Truly “smart people” … simplify things.)86. The smartest guy in the room rarely wins—alas, he usually is aware he’s the smartest guy.

87. Be kind—it really is okay, even if you work for GE. 88. Presidents never tire of being treated like Presidents.89. Luck matters. So: Good luck!

*Send “Thank You” notes! It’s (always)
“all about relationships.” And at the Heart of Effective Relationships is … APPRECIATION. (Oh yeah: Never, ever forget a birthday of a co-worker.)
*Bring donuts! “Small” gestures of appreciation (on a rainy day, after a long day’s work the day before) are VBDs … Very Big Deals.
*Make the call! One short, hard-to-make call today can avert a relationship crisis that could bring you down six months from now.
*Remember: There are no “little gestures” of kindness. As boss, stopping by someone’s cube … for 30 seconds … to inquire about their sick parent will be remembered for … 10 years. (Trust me.)
*Make eye contact! No big deal? Wrong! “It” is all about … Connection! Paying attention! Being there … in the Moment … Present. So, work on your eye contact, your Intent to Connect.
*Smile! Or, rather: SMILE. Rule: Smiles beget smiles. Frowns beget frowns. Rule: WORK ON THIS.
*Smile! (If it kills you.) Energy & enthusiasm & passion engender energy-enthusiasm-passion in those we work with.

*It’s all … RELATIONSHIPS. Remember: Business is a relationships business. (Period.) We’re all in sales! (Period.) Connecting! Making our case! Following up! Networking! “Relationships” are what we “do.”
*You = Your Calendar. Your true priorities are “given away” by your calendar. YOUR CALENDAR NEVER LIES. What are you truly spending your time on? Are you distracted? Focused?
*What’s in a number? EVERYTHING! While we all “do a hundred things,” we may not/should not/cannot have more than 2 (or 3) true “strategic” priorities at any point in time. BELIEVE IT.
*She (he) who is best prepared wins! Out study, out-read, out-research the competition. Know more (lots more!) than “the person on the other side of the table.”
*“Excellence” is the Ultimate Cool Idea. The very idea of “pursuing excellence” is a turn on—for you and me as well as those we work with. (And, I find to my dismay, it’s surprisingly rare.)
*Think WOW! Language matters! “Hot” words generate a Hot Team. Watch your language!
*Take a break! We need all the creativity we can muster these days. So close your office door and do 5 (FIVE) minutes of breathing or yoga; get a bag lunch today and eat it in the park.
![Page 414: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/414.jpg)
*You are the boss! Old ideas of “lifetime employment” at one company (maybe where Dad/Mom worked) are gone. No matter what your current status, think of your self as CEO of Brand Me, Inc. We are all Small Business Owners … of our own careers.
*Do something in … the next half hour! Don’t let yourself get stuck! There is … ALWAYS … something little you can start/do in the next thirty minutes to make a wee, concrete step forward with a problem-opportunity.
*Test it! NOW! We call this the “Quick Prototype Attitude.” One of life’s, especially business life’s, biggest problems is: “Too much ‘talk’, too little ‘do’.” If you’ve got a Cool Idea, don’t sit on it or research it to death. Grab a pal, an empty conference, and start laying out a little model. That is, begin the process of transforming the Idea to Action … ASAP. Incidentally, testing something quarter-baked in an approximation of the real world is the quickest way to learn.
*Expand your horizons. Routinely reach out beyond your comfort zone. TAKE A FREAK TO LUNCH TOMORROW! Call somebody interesting “you’ve been meaning to get in touch with;” invite them to lunch tomorrow. (Lunch with “the same ole gang means nothing new learned. And that’s a guarantee.) (Remember: Discomfort = Growth.)
*Build a Web site. The Web is ubiquitous. Play with it! Be a presence! Start You.com … ASAP!
![Page 415: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/415.jpg)
*Spread the credit! Don’t build monuments to yourself, build them to others—those whose contributions we wholeheartedly acknowledge will literally follow us into machine gun fire!
*Follow Tom’s patented VFCJ strategy! VFCJ = Volunteer For Crappy Jobs. That is, volunteer for the crummy little assignment nobody else wants, but will give you a chance to (1) be on your own, (2) express your creativity, and (3) make a noticeable mark when it turns out “Wow.”
*VOLUNTEER! Life’s a maze, and you never know what’s connected to what. (Six degrees of separation, and all that.) So volunteer for that Community Center fund raising drive, even though you’re busy as all get out. You might end up working side-by-side with the president of a big company who’s looking for an enthusiast like you, or someone wealthy who might be interested in investing in the small business you dream of starting.
*Join Toastmasters! You don’t need to try and match Ronald Reagan’s speaking skills, but you do need to be able to “speak your piece” with comfort, confidence and authority. Organizations like Toastmasters can help … enormously.
*Dress for success! This one is old as the hills and I hate it!! But it’s true. FIRST IMPRESSIONS DO MATTER. (A lot!!!)
![Page 416: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/416.jpg)
*Follow the Gospel of “Experience Marketing” in all you do. The shrewdest marketers today tell us that selling a “product” or “service” is not enough in a crowded marketplace for everything. Every interaction must be reframed as a … Seriously Cool Experience. That includes the “little” 15-minute presentation you are giving to your 4 peers tomorrow.
*Think of your resume as an Annual Report on Brand Me Inc. It’s not about keeping your resume “updated.” It is about having a Super-cool Annual Report. (Tom Peters Inc 2004.) What are your “stunning” accomplishments that you can add to that Report each 6 months, or at the most annually?
*Build a Great Team … even if you are not boss. Best roster wins, right? So, work on your roster. Meet someone new at Church or your kid’s birthday party? Add them to your team (Team Tom); you never know when they might be able to assist you or give you ideas or support for something you are working on.
*She or he who has the Fattest & and Best-managed Rolodex wins. Your Rolodex is your most cherished possession! Have you added 3 names to it in the last 2 weeks? Have you renewed acquaintance (email, lunch, gym date) with 3 people in your Rolodex in the last month? “MANAGE” YOUR ROLODEX!
![Page 417: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/417.jpg)
*Start your own business! Sure that’s radical. But people are doing it—especially women—by the millions. Let the idea percolate. Chat about it, perhaps, with pals. Start a file folder or three on things you Truly Care About … that just might be the basis for Cool Self-employment.
*There’s nothing cooler than an Angry Customer! The most loyal customers are ones who had a problem with us … and then marveled when we went the Extra Ten Miles to fix it! Business opportunity No. 1 = Irate customers converted into fans. So … are you on the prowl for customer problems to fix?
*All “marketing” is Relationship Marketing. In business, profit is a byproduct of “bringing ’em back.” Thus, systematic and intense and repeated Follow-up and After-sales Service and Scintillating New Hooks are of the utmost importance.
![Page 418: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/418.jpg)
*BRANDING ain’t just for Big Dudes. This may well be Business Mistake No. 1 … the idea that “branding” is only for the likes of Coke and Sony and Nike. Baloney! Branding applies as much for the one-person accountancy run out of a spare bedroom as it does for Procter & Gamble.
*Credibility! In the end … Character Matters Most. Does he/she give their word, and then stick to it … come hell & high water? Can you rely on Her/Him in a pinch? Does she/he … CARE?
*Grace. Is it “a pleasure to do business with you”? Is it a pleasure to “be a member of your team”?

Presentation Excellence
1. Total commitment to the Problem/Project/Outcome2. A compelling “Story line”/“Plot”3. Enough data to sink a tanker (98% in reserve)4. Know the data from memory; ability to manipulate the data in your head5. Great Stories/Illustrations/Vignettes6. Superb “political antennae” (you must “play the room” like a Virtuoso and be hyper-attentive to the likes of Body Language)7. By hook or by crook … CONNECT7A. CONNECT! CONNECT! CONNECT!8. Punch line/Plot Outline/WOW/Surprise in firstone to two minutes

Presentation Excellence
9. Once you’ve “won” … stop pushing (don’t “rub it in”)10. Be “in command” but don’t “show off” (if you’re brilliant they’ll figure it out for themselves)11. Pay attention to the Senior Person present, but not too much (don’t look like/act like/be a “suck up”)12. Brief the hell out of your “champions” before the presentation; insist that they make changes/fine tune ... they must “own” the outcome before the fact!13. Don’t try to “score off” your detractors … be especially courteous to them (even if/especially if they’re jerks)14. Adjust as you go: LET THE GROUP ARRIVE AT “YOUR” CONCLUSION! THEY MUST OWN IT (“I knew that”) IN THE END!

Presentation Excellence
15. No more than THREE key points! Come at them in several different ways.16. No more than ONE point per slide!17. Slides: NO CLUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (no wee print/ charts/graphs)18. Slides: Good quotes from the field. (Remember you’re “telling a story”)19. Be aware of differing cognitive styles, especially M-F20. There must be “surprise” … some key facts that are not commonly known/are counter-intuitive (no reason to do the presentation in the first place if there are no Surprises)21. Summarize the argument/story from time to time22. Include an Action Agenda that involves some small items that will be started/accomplished in the next 72 HOURS (this ices commitment/practicality)
![Page 424: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/424.jpg)
Presentation Excellence
23. If you don’t know something … ADMIT IT! (this is actually a good thing—as opposed to appearing as a “know it all”)24. ASK FOR THE SALE! (Remember to be a “closer”)25. This is War (a war for Hearts & Mind), but never forget that you are the Supplicant!26. Data are imperative, but also play to Emotion. 27. Consider bringing along a “customer” (internal or perhaps external) for support28. Be precisely clear where/when you intend to prototype … and that the prototype guinea pig is lined up (better yet, do the first, at least partial, prototype before the presentation)29. Compromise but don’t yield! (Lost battles are normal, no matter how agonizing)30. Assume that you may be cut off at any moment, and be prepared to give on the spot a compelling 30-second to one- minute (no longer!) Brilliant Summary including Sales Pitch
![Page 425: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/425.jpg)
Presentation Excellence
31. Follow the Law of Recency: Make sure that you have been in the field with the key “operating” players more recently than anyone in the room32. Make it clear that you’ve done a Staggering Amount of Homework, even though you are exhibiting but a tiny fraction … allude to the tons of research that are available if desired by participants; offer deeper one-on-one briefings if desired33. SMILE! RELAX (to a point) (fake it if necessary) (“up tight” is disastrous) (remember you are doing them a favor by sharing this Compelling Opportunity!)34. EYE CONTACT!!!!!!!35. Be shrewd: Override some interruptions; be attentive to others (distraction is okay and normal … within limits!)36. Becoming an Excellent Presenter is as tough as becoming a great baseball pitcher. THIS IS IMPORTANT … and Presentation Excellence is never accidental! (Work your buns off!)

Presentation Excellence
37. Practice … but don’t leave your game in the locker room.38. Seek tips on how various participants “play the [presentation] game”39. A Presentation is an Act (FDR: “The President must be the nation’s number one actor”)40. Remember, the presentation is about Change … RESISTANCE IS NORMAL (in fact if there’s little resistance then your Project is hardly a “game changer”)41. Dress well. Don’t over-dress.42. Be early (obvious, but worth saying) 43. GET THE A/V RIGHT/PERFECT.44. Don’t bring a supporting horde … a couple of back-ups is okay/enough45. No matter how good you are you’ll have crappy days … WEEP AND THEN GET BACK ON THE HORSE
![Page 427: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/427.jpg)
Presentation Excellence
46. Speak in “Plain English” … keep the jargon to a minimum47. Make your Personal Commitment clear as a bell!48. Emphasize “competitive advantage” and timeliness (act now), without stooping to ridiculous war-like language (“tear the heart out of the competition”) (in audiences with heavy female component, if you are male, avoid repetitive “football analogues”)49. Underscore the USP/Unique Selling Proposition50. Emphasize the Positive51. Sell Novelty yet “fit” with “core values”52. Remember JFK’s immortal words: “The only reason to give a speech is to change the world”
![Page 428: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/428.jpg)
Presentation Excellence
53. Say what you have to say Clearly … and then Say It Again & Again from slightly different angles54. Make it clear that you are a Man/Woman of Action … and Execution Excellence is your First, Middle, and Last Name!55. Energy! Enthusiasm! (don’t know the answer to, “If you ain’t got it how do you get it?”)56. Enjoy it! This is a Hoot! THE ULTIMATE TURN ON! Remember your Goal:
Change the world!

The Interviewing Excellence: The IntX31
![Page 431: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/431.jpg)
Interviewing Excellence
1. INTERVIEWING IS AN “ART” WORTH MASTERING! (Think Christiane Amanpour, Mike Wallace)2. Don’t overschedule—2 or 3 in depth interviews are a solid day’s work. (More than that is lunacy and will lead to shallow results.)3. Save, if possible, the “Big Guy/Gal until last—that is, until you know what the hell you’re doing!4. Find a comfy/“safe”/neutral setting. THIS IS ALL IMPORTANT! (Worst case: You on the other side of his/her desk.)5. Start with a little bit (LITTLE) of local small talk. But get some tips on the interviewee ahead of time; he may be one of the “brusque ones” who considers any small talk a waste of his Imperial Time.6. DO YOUR DAMN HOME WORK! (On the interviewee, the subject matter.)7. Concoct a … LONG LIST … of questions. (You’ll only use 10% of it, but that’s okay.)
![Page 432: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/432.jpg)
Interviewing Excellence
8. Prepare a … SHORT LIST … of questions you must get answered.9. Begin by briefly reviewing your assignment—why you’re here.10. ALWAYS ASK FOR EXAMPLES! (When she says “Customer Service is in good shape,” you ask for specifics—hard data, recent Customer Service successes (and failures). And: PRECISELY WHO YOU CAN FOLLOW UP WITH TO GET MORE DETAIL.11. STORIES! STORIES! STORIES! (You are in the “Story Collection Business.)12. Dress well. DON’T OVERDRESS. (Look like they look, more or less; perhaps a touch more formal—this is a Serious Affair you are engaging in.)13. Assume you’ll never get another chance to talk to this person.14. Be personable, but more or less match the interviewee’s style. (THIS IS HARD WORK!)15. THINK … SMALL! “Please walk me in great detail through the [complaint resolution] process. Here, let’s diagram it.”
![Page 433: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/433.jpg)
Interviewing Excellence
16. For God’s sake, get to the Front Line! (The devil is in the details, and the details are to be found on the loading dock at 3a.m.) (YES … 3A.M.)17. Don’t quit until you understand. THE INTERVIEWEE ALWAYS TALKS IN SHORTHAND—using the jargon of the Corporate Culture. You’ve got to crack the code. (THIS IS ABOUT THE HARDEST THING TO DO, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE YOUNG AND UNCERTAIN: Tell yourself you are here to ask “Dumb” Questions—this is not a job interview. Again, think Mike Wallace: “So did you in fact murder Mrs. Smith?”)18. Ignore generalizations! YOU ARE HERE IN SEARCH OF SPECIFICS!!!19. CONTEXT! “Get” the “corporate culture”—e.g. Shell is not ExxonMobil! Find out (from a set of interviewees) “Core Values” (in
theory and in practice).
![Page 434: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/434.jpg)
Interviewing Excellence
20. Engage the Interviewee! GET HER TO DO SOME OF THE WORK! E.g., write out her view of the Ten Key Operative Core Values—or some such.20A. ENGAGE! ENGAGE! ENGAGE!21. You must come across as “trustworthy.” YOU ARE A DUMBO HERE TO LEARN—NOT AN FBI AGENT IN DISGUISE. 22. “Take me through yesterday.” Get past the theoretical crap. Give me in excruciating detail an average day: YESTERDAY! (One hour/meeting at a time.)23. “If you’re comfortable, let’s go over your Calendar for the last month, so I can understand the flow of things.” (Remember TP’s Rule #1: YOU = YOUR CALENDAR.)24. DON’T LET YOUR NOTES AGE!! Immediately after the interview set aside some time to do a “stream of consciousness” recap. And to clean up the obscure scrawl on your notes.
![Page 435: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/435.jpg)
Interviewing Excellence
25. Ask the interview if you can get back to her by phone tomorrow to fill in holes that your tin ear missed. NO MORE THAN TEN MINUTES.26. LEARNING! Tag along with “great interviewers” in your organization. (I made three PBS films with a Director who had been Mike Wallace’s director at 60 Minutes—oh my God, how much I learned—or, rather, how little I learned: He could drag stuff out of people that you couldn’t believe. (Secret: “I’m just a dumb old fart trying to figure out what goes on here. HELP ME. PLEASE.”)27. “Work on” your Level of Dis-satisfaction: BE MAD AS HELL WHEN YOU SPENT 1.5 HOURS ON AN INTERVIEW WITHOUT REVALATIONS!28. No, you’re not FBI—BUT YOU ARE HERE TO FERRET OUT THE NON-OBVIOUS. So: Keep Digging! (Think Woodward & Bernstein.)
![Page 436: Tom Peters’ Re-Imagine2006! Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age Madrid/21-22February2006 (LONG/Talent50)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649e685503460f94b6483e/html5/thumbnails/436.jpg)
Interviewing Excellence
29. Repeat: INTERVIEWING IS A CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT “ART.” Study it! Work on it! It’s no different than golf or underwater basket-weaving. The more & harder you work, the better you get. 30. Yes, we need “facts” (e.g., stories), but remember alWays: INTERVIEWS ARE PURE & SIMPLE ABOUT EMOTIONAL INTERACTION!
31. Tom Wrap-up Note: FEW THINGS IN LIFE PISS ME OFF MORE THAN GOING THROUGH SOMEONE’S INTERVIEW NOTES AND FINDING A DEARTH OF “SOLID EVIDENCE”—examples., stories, detailed process maps, etc. (I BLOODY HATE Generalizations!) (Think doctor’s office: Come hell & high water they start with weight, blood pressure, pulse.)

process at most companies.” —Ed Michaels

“Diversity defines the health and wealth of nations in a new century. 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.”

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.

The Core Argument
1. We are in a War for Talent.2. The war will intensify.3. Women are under-represented in our leadership ranks.4. Women and men are different.5. Women’s strengths match the New Economy’s leadership needs—to a striking degree.6. Women are also the principal purchasers of goods and services—retail and commercial.7. Ergo, women are a large part of “the answer” to the War for Talent issue/opportunity.

Why Do I love Freaks?
(1) Because when Anything Interesting happens … it was a freak who did it. (Period.) (2) Freaks are fun. (Freaks are also a pain.) (Freaks are never boring.) (3) We need freaks. Especially in freaky times. (Hint: These are freaky times, for you & me & the CIA & the Army & Avon.) (4) A critical mass of freaks-in-our-midst automatically make us-who-are-not-so-freaky at least somewhat more freaky. (Which is a Good Thing in freaky times—see immediately above.) (5) Freaks are the only (ONLY) ones who succeed—as in, make it into the history books. (6) Freaks keep us from falling into ruts. (If we listen to them.) (We seldom listen to them.)

“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?’ ”

Thriving in 24/7 (Sally Helgesen)
START AT THE CORE. Nimbleness only possible if we “locate our inner voice,” take regular inventory of
where we are.
LEARN TO ZIGZAG. Think “gigs.” Think lifelong learning. Forget “old loyalty.” Work on optimism.
CREATE OUR OWN WORK. Articulate your value. Integrate your passions. I.D. your market. Run your
own business.
WEAVE A STRONG WEB OF INCLUSION. Build your own support network. Master the art of “looking
people up.”

“The mediocre manager believes that most things are learnable and therefore that
the essence of management is to identify ach person’s
weaker areas and eradicate them. The great manager believes the opposite. He
believes that the most influential qualities of a person are innate and
therefore that the essence of management is to deploy these innate qualities as
effectively as possible and so drive performance.” —Marcus Buckingham,

“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 participating in the suppression of creative genius.”

A man approached JP Morgan, held up an envelope, and said, “Sir, in my hand I hold a guaranteed formula for success,
which I will gladly sell you for $25,000.”
“Sir,” JP Morgan replied, “I do not know what is in the envelope, however if you show me, and I like it, I
give you my word as a gentleman that I will pay you what you ask.”
The man agreed to the terms, and handed over the envelope. JP Morgan opened it, and extracted a single sheet of paper. He gave it one look, a mere glance, then handed the piece of paper
back to the gent.
And paid him the agreed-upon $25,000.

“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

“This [adolescent] incident [of getting from point A to point B] is notable not only because it underlines Grant’s fearless
horsemanship and his determination, but also it is the first known
example of a very important peculiarity of his character:
Grant had an extreme, almost phobic dislike of turning back
and retracing his steps. If he set out for
somewhere, he would get there somehow, whatever the difficulties that lay in his way. This idiosyncrasy would turn out to be one the
factors that made him such a formidable general. Grant would
always, always press on—turning back was not an option for him.” —Michael Korda, Ulysses Grant

Charles Handy on the “Alchemists”:
“Passion was what drove these people,
passion for their product or their
cause. If you care enough, you will find out
what you need to know. Or you will experiment and not
worry if the experiment goes wrong. Passion as the secret to learning is an odd secret to propose, but I believe that it works at all levels and at all ages.
Sadly, passion is not a word often heard in the elephant organizations, nor in schools,
where it can seem disruptive.”
