The Basic Premise.
![Page 8: Tom Peters/ SouthAfrica2002 Leading in Totally Screwed-Up Times 12August2002/Johannesburg.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b3b7f8b9ab05999e84e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1. Leadership Is a … Mutual
Discovery Process.
![Page 9: Tom Peters/ SouthAfrica2002 Leading in Totally Screwed-Up Times 12August2002/Johannesburg.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b3b7f8b9ab05999e84e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
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!

“Basically [Omnicom’s John] Wren makes aggressive bets on entrepreneurs and
gives them tremendous autonomy, on the assumption that the risk-taking will pay off
in new ideas, connections, businesses, and, yes, revenues and profits. … ‘Omnicom operates like a
venture-capital firm,’ says Sir Martin Sorrell [of WPP].”

“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

“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.”

“TAKE THIS QUICK QUIZ: Who manages more things at once? Who puts more effort into their appearance? Who usually takes care of the details? Who finds it
easier to meet new people? Who asks more questions in a conversation? Who is a better
listener? Who has more interest in communication skills? Who is more inclined to get involved?
Who encourages harmony and agreement? Who has better intuition? Who works with a longer ‘to do’ list? Who enjoys a recap to the day’s events? Who is
better at keeping in touch with others?”

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

“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.”

WEIRD IDEAS THAT WORK: (1) Hire slow learners (of the organizational code). (1.5) Hire people who make you
uncomfortable, even those you dislike. (2) Hire people you (probably) don’t need. (3) Use job interviews to get ideas, not
to screen candidates. (4) Encourage people to ignore and defy superiors and peers. (5) Find some happy people and get them to fight. (6) Reward success and failure, punish inaction.
(7) Decide to do something that will probably fail, then convince yourself and everyone else that success is certain. (8) Think of
some ridiculous, impractical things to do, then do them. (9) Avoid, distract, and bore customers, critics, and anyone who just wants to talk about money. (10) Don’t try to learn anything from people who seem to have solved the problems you face.
(11) Forget the past, particularly your company’s success.

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 Alto resident … THIS IS EVEN BIGGER THAN

Navy had failed years earlier to procure the proper communications gear that would have connected the
Navy with its Air Force counterparts. … To compensate for the lack of communications capability, the Navy was forced to fly a daily cargo mission from
the Persian Gulf and Red Sea to Riyadh in order to pick up a computer printout of the air mission tasking
order, then fly back to the carriers, run photocopy machines at full tilt, and distribute the documents to the air wing squadrons that were planning the next

DREAM: “A dream is a complete moment in the life of a client.
Important experiences that tempt the client to commit substantial resources. The essence of the desires of the consumer. The
opportunity to help clients become what they want to be.” —Gian Luigi

“We don’t have a good language to talk about this kind of thing. In most people’s
vocabularies, design means veneer. … But to me, nothing could be further from the
meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul

hate!

THE BASE CASE: I am a design fanatic. Though not “artistic,” I love “cool stuff.” 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 another “one of those things” that damn few companies put – consistently – on the
front burner.

needs.

“There’s no use trying,” said Alice. “One can’t believe impossible things.”
“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was

believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

“Suppose—just suppose—that the Web is a new world we’re just beginning to inhabit. We’re like the earlier European settlers in the United States, living on the
edge of the forest. We don’t know what’s there and we don’t know exactly what we need to do to find out: Do we pack mountain climbing gear, desert wear, canoes, or all three? Of course while the settlers may not have
known what the geography of the New World was going to be, they at least knew that there was a geography. The Web, on the other hand, has no
geography, no landscape. It has no distance. It has nothing natural in it. It has few rules of behavior and fewer lines of authority. Common sense doesn’t hold
here, and uncommon sense hasn’t yet emerged.” David Weinberger, Small Pieces Loosely Joined

“It is impossible to claim that all good teachers use similar techniques: some lecture nonstop
and others speak very little; some stay close to their material and others loose the imagination; some teach with the carrot and others with the stick. But in every instance, good teachers share one trait: a strong sense of personal identity infuses their work. ‘Dr. A is really there when he teaches.’ ‘Mr. B has such enthusiasm for his subject.’ ‘You can tell
that this is really Prof. C’s life.’ ”Parker Palmer, The Courage to Teach

“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.”

Robert Miller (Federal-Mogul), on Turnarounds: (1) Tell the truth.
Play it straight. (2) Make decisions. Don’t study things to
