dispatches from the new world of work

Upcoming Webinar

We want to acknowledge the difficulties that today's leaders must be facing, but we know that many of the readers of this blog will be looking for innovative ways to thrive in these disruptive times. At a time when many companies, quite understandably, are taking defensive action and battening down the hatches, there are some leaders who see times like these as an opportunity—a time for radical and different approaches. So how can we help?

The Tom Peters Company's Future Shape of the Winner Model, which is the operationalization of Tom's PSF philosophy, has people as its focus. It defines the leader's job as creating a context in which people can do their best work.

Find out more about this approach, and its accompanying audit instrument, The Excellence Audit, at a complimentary webinar a week from today. You can sign up for a session at Noon in the UK, or a session at Noon Eastern U.S. time, both Wednesday, 29 October 2008. For more information, go to www.tompeters.co.uk.

Thank you. I look forward to the Webinar. Coming from you it will be of great help.

I have learned the hardest way possible ''throughout 30-year experience-- a couple of things about leadership, remaining respectful of all others´POVs.

Management turned ultimately scientifically. If the leader does not act towards the omniscience perspective will never make it. In addition to daring times, man-made and Nature´s RISKS will have (now and in the near future) no precedent concerning the totality of humankind history.

I do not like this, but I must live a life and learn to adapt/readapt to the most forceful times ever. Visit, if you like, www.OmniLeader.blogspot.com.

Love Tom, love what he and the company stand for.. ....But please please don't use words like operationalization. There just isn't any need.

The more positive strategies we can share with businesses right now, the better. Business leaders have a tremendous opportunity to push ahead of their competition, and they need to be encouraged as much as possible by people who have made the best out of tough economic times.

Looking forward to the webinar.
