Thomas J. Peters Knihy

Bestseller amerických autorů je zasvěceným pohledem do práce šéfů 36 úspěšných amerických firem. Jde vlastně o propagaci osmi charakteristických rysů vynikajících podniků: 1. Aktivně jednat 2. Být blízko zákazníkovi 3. Autonomnost a podnikavost 4. Zvyšovat produktivitu prostřednictvím lidí 5. Držet se činností, kde vznikají hodnoty firmy 6. Držet se toho, co firma umí a zná 7. Jednoduché organizační formy, nepočetný stav 8. Umět spojovat řízení "pevnou a volnou uzdou"

Dokonalosti – či chcete-li excelentnosti – se dosahuje vykonáváním spousty drobných činností, často s blahosklonnou přezíravostí přehlížených, které však mohou změnit nejen nás samé, ale i organizace, v nichž pracujeme, a svět, který nás obklopuje. S patřičnou dávkou nakažlivého zaujetí, naléhavosti, přesvědčivosti, ale i humoru autor - guru světového managementu, lektor, konzultant - ve své nové knize předkládá 163 doporučení, která podnikatelům a manažerům neustále připomínají, že jejich nejdůležitějším aktivem jsou lidé a že posláním organizací je služba.

Brilliantly simple, actionable guidelines for success that any business leader can immediately implement. “Tom Peters' new book is a bundle of beautiful dynamite. While I've been a CEO for 30 years, I still learned much worth knowing from The Excellence Dividend. You will too.” —John C.

Excellence Now: Extreme Humanism This beautifully-designed book by award-winning design firm, Donovan/Green, captures Tom's timeless and new lessons in leadership for NOW. Called the "Greatest Business Book of All Time" (Bloomsbury UK), Tom and Robert Waterman's In Search of Excellence launched a maverick approach to management thinking in 1982. Tom's seventeen books since have been cornerstones of management lessons from business schools to boardrooms. With Excellence Now: Extreme Humanism, Tom sets an even higher bar given the state of our world today. Why "Extreme Humanism"? Tom will show how excellence in leadership is achieved by an obsessive focus on the growth of those you are leading. Reflecting on how to lead in current conditions, Tom says, "What you are doing right now will be the hallmark of your entire career." Fans who await Tom's next bold insights based on decades of research and on-the-ground, (e.g. Twitter - @tom_peters) steely observations, will once again find themselves immersed in a rich world of people-first wisdom. Excellence Now: Extreme Humanism will long serve as a business bible for both individuals and organizations-large and small. Excellence Now powerfully delivers the management and leadership direction for how to move forward in a world turned upside down.
