“The two most important sets of decisions that leaders make is hiring and promoting” – Tom Peters
Key leadership insights to listen for
- The vital importance of community in the workplace.
- Hiring and promoting practices are a vital part of sustaining company culture and community.
- Global research from MIT and LCI are revealing there is a huge gap between leaders, peers, and employees when it comes to building solid, meaningful relationships.

Tom Peters is coauthor of In Search of Excellence—the book that changed the way the world does business and often tagged as the best business book ever. Eighteen books and thirty-five years later, Tom is still at the forefront of the “management guru industry” he single-handedly invented. What’s new? A lot. As CNN said, “While most business gurus milk the same mantra for all it’s worth, the one-man brand called Tom Peters is still reinventing himself.”
In his new Compact Guide to Excellence Tom drives home the importance of the people and community that make up an organization and how this affects business excellence.
In November 2017, Tom received the Thinkers50 Lifetime Achievement Award.
