dispatches from the new world of work

Video: More on Brand You

Here's the latest video of Tom expounding on The Little BIG Things before starting work on the book. All the seeds of the 163 Ways to Pursue Excellence are in this video series, though the text of the book is different from what you'll find here, because Tom edited about 5 (or 10) times. In this video, Tom explains that taking control of your own career is not an option, but a must.

You can watch the video here. [Time: 3 minutes, 8 seconds]

Aaaw,so true Peter!
We all have been born to be creative entrepreneurs, but we have been trained to be otherwise: compliant "factory workers" waiting for instructions.
Coincidentally I have had a great opportunity to meet Prof. Yunus last week during Social Business Tour conference in Vienna and he is true energy, passion and vision in action. He has started with financing 42 women and total amount was 27 usd.
Thank you for the video.
cheers from Slovakia

I could not agree more with Tom Peters comments. Entrepreneurs, past and present, made this country great. We should study them and follow in their foot steps.

How about some videos of Tom effectively implementing a few of his grand ideas?

You know, something that actually illustrates his 'bias for action'?
