In an in-depth analytic study released by Accenture's Institute for Strategic Change in May 2002, Peters scored second among the top 200 "Business Intellectuals" ... behind only Michael Porter. Tom was also recently honored by membership in Richard Saul Wurman's Who's Really Who 2002: The 1000 Most Creative Individuals in the USA.
Tom & Bob Waterman co-authored In Search of Excellence in 1982; the book was named by NPR (in 1999) as one of the "Top Three Business Books of the Century," and ranked as the "greatest business book of all time" in a poll by Britain's Bloomsbury Publishing (2002).
Tom followed Search with a string of international bestsellers: A Passion for Excellence (1985, with Nancy Austin -- which ousted Lee Iacocca from the #1 slot), Thriving on Chaos (1987), Liberation Management (1992: acclaimed as the "Management Book of the Decade" for the '90s), The Tom Peters Seminar (1993), The Pursuit of WOW! (1994), and The Circle of Innovation (1997). Tom's series of books on Reinventing Work were published in September 1999: The Brand You50, The Project50, and The Professional Service Firm50. In October 2003 Tom will release a totally new form of the business book, in conjunction with innovative British publisher Dorling Kindersley: Re-imagine: Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age.
Two Tom Peters biographies have recently been published: Corporate Man to Corporate Skunk: The Tom Peters Phenomenon, by Stuart Crainer; and Tom Peters: The Bestselling Prophet of the Management Revolution, by Robert Heller (part of a four-book series of business biographies on Peters, Bill Gates, Peter Drucker, and Warren Buffet).
Leadership guru Warren Bennis, the only person who knows both Peter Drucker and Tom personally, told a reporter, "If Peter Drucker invented modern management, Tom Peters repainted it in Technicolor." In fact, as even Tom's book titles indicate, his passion is for passion ... destruction & disruption ... commitment ... workforce liberation ... creativity & innovation ... entrepreneurship. Tom's newest passions are for disruptive leadership, women-as-the-new-economy's-natural-leaders, the role of design-as-ultimate-competitive-advantage, and the wholesale reinvention of healthcare & education.
Tom presents about 80 major seminars each year, has written hundreds of articles for various publications, and serves as Chairman of Tom Peters Company. When he's not on an airplane, Tom and his wife Susan Sargent (and Max and Ben) co-habit a 1,500-acre working farm in Tinmouth, Vermont ... along with alpacas, chickens, goats, horses, barn cats, sheep, geese, and dogs (Rosie, Hummer and Wally ... two of whom sleep on the bed).
Tom is a graduate of Cornell (B.C.E., M.C.E.) and Stanford (M.B.A., Ph.D.) and holds honorary degrees from several institutions. He served on active duty with the U.S. Navy in Vietnam (a Navy Seabee) and Washington from 1966 to 1970, was a senior White House drug abuse advisor in 1973-74, and worked at McKinsey & Co. from 1974 to 1981, becoming a partner in 1979. Tom is a Fellow of the International Academy of Management, The World Productivity Association, the International Customer Service Association, and the Society for Quality and Participation. |
