Da quando quasi quarant’anni fa ha rivoluzionato il mondo del business con il libro Alla ricerca dell’eccellenza, Tom Peters non ha mai smesso per un istante di portare avanti le sue ricerche sul management e sull’eccellenza aziendale. Con Il momento dell’eccellenza prosegue la riflessione su alcuni dei temi a lui più cari e traccia una nuova strada per mettere in atto sul serio i cambiamenti più che mai necessari in quest’epoca di tumulti e incertezze sociali, sanitarie ed economiche. Un manifesto per una nuova concezione del lavoro e delle organizzazioni, con al centro le persone e la comunità, e per una leadership empatica e illuminata. Attraverso suggerimenti “in pillole”, intuizioni spesso illuminanti, prestiti da alcuni dei più grandi pensatori e studi condotti in quarant’anni di ricerche, Tom Peters costruisce, in quello che ha dichiarato essere il suo ultimo libro, un testamento spirituale per le generazioni chiamate a costruire un mondo migliore.

Living on land that had once been the territory of the Kalapuya Indians, Tom researched the tribe, discovering that there was little in the way of historical writings about the people. The book is a fictional tale about a small mountain community surrounded by huge tracts of corporate timberland. Sam McKenzie, the last full-blooded Kalapuya, and Laura Morgan, an attractive widow, become drawn together amid a group of colorful characters and unexpected events. The small hamlet of Falon, although insulated from most of the nation''s big-city dilemmas, becomes entwined in a sinister plot to disrupt the American way of life. Through the chapters, the reader is taken on an amazingly entertaining adventure into the lives of small-town people going through big time experiences. September Winds is the type of story that many readers will want to experience more than once.

Wir kommunizieren heute mehr als je zuvor, und nie war der Zugang zu Kommunikation leichter. Das Smartphone hat die Art und Weise, wie wir miteinander in Kontakt treten, binnen kürzester Zeit revolutioniert. Wir sind scheinbar permanent im Austausch mit anderen. Doch Reden allein macht noch lange keine Begegnung. Es ist die Qualität des Gesprächs, die darüber entscheidet, was zwischen Menschen passiert. Sie bestimmt, wie wir uns miteinander fühlen, wie wir zueinander stehen und was wir an Wissen teilen. Was also unterscheidet ein echtes Gespräch von Smalltalk, WhatsApp-Nachrichten, Tweets und Postings? Und wie kommen wir in einen echten Dialog, der tiefe zwischenmenschliche Begegnungen ermöglicht? Sylvia Löhken und Tom Peters geben in ihrem klugen Buch Antworten auf diese Fragen. Sie zeigen, wie sich mit den Hemmungen und Ängsten umgehen lässt, denen wir uns oft ausgesetzt fühlen, wenn wir uns auf echte Begegnungen einlassen. Das lohnt sich: Der Austausch mit anderen tut uns als sozialen Wesen gut, wenn wir ihn in unserem Sinne gestalten. Mehr noch: Das intelligente nahbare Gespräch ist ein Karrierefaktor. Je mehr Verantwortung Menschen in ihrem Berufsleben haben, desto mehr beruht ihr Erfolg auf gelungener Kommunikation: durch das Schaffen und Gestalten lebendiger Beziehungen. Sylvia Löhken und Tom Peters veranschaulichen mit vielen Beispielen, welche Chancen darin liegen, wenn wir tiefe Begegnungen mit anderen zulassen und das Risiko eingehen, uns anderen gegenüber zu öffnen: Wir erweitern nicht nur unser Sachwissen, sondern wir schaffen im offenen Dialog mit unserem Gegenüber vertrauensvolle Beziehungen und lernen dabei uns selbst und unser Gegenüber kennen. Die Autoren zeigen, wie wir die Voraussetzungen für echte Begegnungen schaffen und wie wir Gespräche so führen, dass sie für alle Beteiligten wertvoll sind.

Through a series of warm and uplifting stories, Tom and Linda Peters take you into the heart of their socially awkward marriage. Tom had long suspected that there was something wrong with him, but despite his best efforts, he could never figure out what it was. With the help of Linda, a writer and investigator who he would later marry, Tom went looking for answers that would explain his quirky way of seeing the world. At the age of 47, he was diagnosed with Asperger''s Syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism. Raw and personal, this book of essays was first inspired by Tom''s challenges with Asperger''s Syndrome, but the humorous bite-sized stories apply to any kind of interpersonal communication. The simple solutions that Tom and Linda have discovered - while dressing up a phrenology head or removing a wild opossum from the master bath - have the surprising power to help us learn how to feel more respected, heard and understood in all of our relationships. Introduction Remember that weird kid in the back of the classroom who just couldn''t stop talking about astronomy, and would bring up the discovery of Pluto during lessons about the American Civil War? That was me. My name is Tom Peters. I''m a composer and GRAMMY(R)-nominated classical musician now, and I''ve played music all over the world. I have a wife named Linda, a college-aged son from my first marriage, and eight different types of stringed instruments at home including six ukuleles. In 2011, at the tender age of 47, I was diagnosed with Asperger''s Syndrome. At that time, Asperger''s Syndrome was considered a mild form of autism, characterized by an inability to understand how to interact socially. Those of us with Asperger''s - or Aspies, as a term of endearment - tend to have few facial expressions and are apt to stare blankly at other people. It''s nothing personal; we really can''t help it. Aspies are often accused of being "in their own world" and preoccupied with their own thoughts. We are usually clumsy with uncoordinated movements, are socially awkward, have repetitive routines or rituals, and odd speech and language. Which didn''t exactly make me a chick magnet. Regardless of an Aspie''s age or place in life, relationships are often a challenge. Being unable to understand nonverbal communication or how you relate to the people around you can cause Aspies to blurt out inappropriate remarks and say just plain odd things, usually at exactly the wrong time. But it''s not all bad news. The unusual focus and intensity that goes along with this disorder has helped me to hone my skills as a professional double bass player and later, as a composer of silent film scores. On a personal level, I am honest, dependable and straightforward. I love deeply and always try to do my best. I don''t play mind games. I don''t know how. And now, as a middle-aged adult, I''m in a happy, healthy relationship. My wife, Linda, is a writer who used to work with adults with mental, emotional and developmental disabilities. It was Linda''s idea for me to share some anecdotes about what it felt like to be on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum. She thought it might help someone to hear me articulate the feelings involved in some of the unique challenges I face. Around the same time, we also started writing articles together about how we were making communication work so well in our Asperger''s relationship. This book is a collection of some of those articles and blog posts about our lives. Most of the stories are about being on the spectrum, or about living with someone who is on the spectrum. Almost all the stories take place in the context of our Asperger''s relationship and subsequent marriage. We hope that you enjoy reading them!

In 1982, Tom Peters and Bob Waterman put "A Bias for Action" at the top of their list of eight traits of successful companies in their groundbreaking book In Search of Excellence. Given the subsequent acceleration of change, "A Bias for Action" would doubtless top a similar list in 2012. Here''s Peters'' excellent (and beautifully designed) take for today.

Tom Peters--brilliant, original, and perhaps the most inspiring and listened-to business thinker of our time--has a lot on his mind these days. And he wants to share it in The Circle of Innovation. The world of business is in a permanent state of flux, he argues, a state of chaos in which constant innovation is the only survival strategy--for the individual and for the organization. And he presents here a lifesaving handbook--both provocative and practical--designed to turn any organization into a perpetual innovation machine. In 400 seminars in 47 states and 22 countries in the last five years, Peters has reexamined, refined, and reinvented his views on innovation. Now he brings those seminars--and his passion--to the reader in a landmark book. It is meant, he writes, to both "terrify" and "enlighten." These are "times of matchless peril for those who fail to grasp the nettle...and times of matchless opportunity for those who do."
