The Little BIG Things Video Series

As mentioned previously, Tom's been busily working on a new book. The Little BIG Things: 163 Ways to Pursue Excellence will be published early next year.

Our talented friends at Enterprise Media captured Tom's thoughts during an early draft stage of the book. The words in the book will have little resemblance to the words Tom uses in these videos, as there have been numerous draft revisions, but the concepts are the same.

Our new video feature can be found at the top right of the front page under the banner. The video series starts off with the topic of the recession, the first being "Recession Thoughts from Tom Peters—On Lending Officers and The World of Finance." Tom reminds us that the financial crisis was caused, essentially, by lending officers not remaining connected to the people to whom they were lending. Staying connected and seeing, smelling, and tasting where the action is are Little BIG Things.

Excellent idea Shelley–well done for publishing these videos – I look forward to more of the same.

And excellent as always Tom – this stuff is soooooooo simple. Just as my late beloved Dad always said to me – don’t spend what you don’t have … I maybe wish I’d heeded his advice a bit more :-)

Whose gonna drive by? The morgages were broken up into pieces and sent all over the world.
The guy you are talking about would have taken a hit if the loan went bad. That's why he drove by the people houses/businesses he was giving loans to. The loan officers in the case of the current problem had no skin in the game. They had no incentive to ask any questions or care if the loan went bad.

We constantly experience that there are great things, usually buried in the past. It is wise to look back, not to replicate but to find what is good and then adapt it for a new age....

Although I have read every single one of the blog postings, I can't wait to get my hands on the upcoming book.

Please continue to Rock On Tom!

Best,
