"Bring in wild and wooly outsiders. E-x-p-a-n-d the box." Tom Peters
Overview
about this site
The blog on this home page and other editorial content throughout the site is written by Tom and the Tom Peters Company. Read about us. The red exclamation point you see is more than just a logo—it's a philosophy. To view the new world of work as anything less than a matchless opportunity would be, as Tom writes, "criminal and tragic."
We care about passion, leadership, communication, branding, creative destruction, re-imagining, off-shoring, women, boomers, design, education, technology, cool projects, cooler people, and work that makes a difference.
