  8. Life 101: A 40-year Meditation Go on offense. Give everybody a shot. Decentralize. Hire weird. Foster discomfort. Try a bunch of stuff. Make it up as you go along. Get some stuff wrong. Laugh a lot. Get some stuff right. Become a “success.” For a while. Extract “lessons learned” or “best practices.” Thicken the Book of Rules for Success. Become evermore serious. Enforce the rules to increasingly tight tolerances. Go on defense. Install walls. Protect-at-all-costs today’s franchise. QEPS > SCNP Centralize. Calcify. Install taller walls. Write more rules. Promote the CFO to CEO. Become irrelevant and-or die.

  24. Psssst! Wanna see my “porn” collection?

  25. “One thing is certain: Women’s rise to power, which is linked to the increase in wealth per capita, is happening in all domains and at all levels of society. Women are no longer content to provide efficient labor or to be consumers with rising budgets and more autonomy to spend. … This is just the beginning. The phenomenon will only grow as girls prove to be more successful than boys in the school system. For a number of observers, we have already entered the age of ‘womenomics,’ the economy as thought out and practiced by a woman.”—Aude Zieseniss de Thuin, Financial Times, 10.03.2006

  26. 10 UNASSAILABLE REASONS WOMEN RULE Women make [all] the financial decisions.Women control [all] the wealth. Women [substantially] outlive men. Women start most of the new businesses. Women’s work force participation rates have soared worldwide. Women are closing in on “same pay for same job.” Women are penetrating senior ranks rapidly [even if the pace is slow for the corner office per se]. Women’s leadership strengths are exceptionally well aligned with new organizational effectiveness & value-added imperatives. Women are better salespersons than men. Women buy [almost] everything—commercial as well as consumer goods. Sowhatexactlyis … thepointofmen?

  27. Conrad Hilton, at a gala celebrating his life, was asked, “What was the most important lesson you’ve learned in you long and distinguished career?” His immediate answer: “remember to tuck the shower curtain inside the bathtub”

  32. Organizations exist to serve. Period. Leaders live to serve. Period. Tom Peters/17 September 2007

  33. “I have always believed that the purpose of the corporation is to be a blessing to the employees.”—Boyd Clarke

  34. Organizations exist to serve. Period. Leaders live to serve. Period.

  35. Organizations exist to serve. Period. Leaders live to serve. Period. Passionate servant leaders, determined to create a legacy of earthshaking transformation in their domain(a 600SF retail space, a 4-person training department, an urban school, a rural school, a city, a nation),create/ must necessarily create organizations which are no less than Cathedrals in which the full and awesome power of the Imagination and Spirit and native Entrepreneurial flair(We are all entrepreneurs—Muhammad Yunus)of diverse individuals(100% creative Talent—from checkout to lab, from Apple to Wegmans to Jane’s one-person accountancy in Invercargill NZ)is unleashed in passionate pursuit of jointly perceived soaring purpose(= win a Nobel peace prize like Yunus, or at least do something worthy of bragging about 25 years from now to your grandkids)and personal and community and client service Excellence.

  36. … no less than Cathedrals in which the full and awesome power of the Imagination and Spirit and native Entrepreneurial flairof diverse individualsis unleashed in passionate pursuit of … Excellence.

  37. Such Talent unbound pursue Quests(rapidly and relentlessly experimenting and failing and trying again)which surprise and surpass and redefine the expectations of the individual and the servant leader alike. The collective “products” of these Quests offer the best chance of achieving rapid organizational and individual adaptation to fast-transforming environments, and provide the nutrition for continuing (and sometimes dramatic) re-imaginings which re-draw the boundaries of industries and communities and human achievement.

  38. In turn, such organizations, bent upon excellence and re-imaginings based on maximizing human creativity and achievement, will, more or less automatically, create cadres of imaginative and inspiring and determined servant leaders who stick around to take the organization to another level—or, equally or more important, leave to spread the virus of Freedom-Creativity-Excellence-Transforming Purpose by pathfinding new highways and alleyways which, through the potent process of “creative destruction”vitalize and revitalize Entrepreneurial Capitalism, which in turn is the best hope for maximizing collective human Freedom, Happiness, Prosperity, Wellbeing—and, one prays, some measure of Peace on earth.

  41. “I am often asked by would-be entrepreneurs seeking escape from life within huge corporate structures, ‘How do I build a small firm for myself?’ The answer seems obvious:Buy a very large one and just wait.”—Paul Ormerod, Why Most Things Fail: Evolution, Extinction and Economics
