This 60-minute CD features highlights from Tom Peters' Dec. 9, 2003, all-day seminar at the London Hilton Metropole to more than 500 business leaders. In this program, Tom discusses his latest thinking on leadership and challenges the audience to "re-imagine" excellence in the 21st century. As always, Tom is energetic and thought-provoking, offering ideas and case studies that you can use in your career and business. Produced by Red Audio of Red Studios, UK, Tom Peters Live In London is edited in five highly targeted and impactful segments, including Talent Management, Opportunity Management, Technology Management, Forgetful Management and Metabolic Management.
Fortune calls Tom Peters the Ur-guru of management and compares him to Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman and H.L. Mencken. The Economist tags him the Uber-guru. His unconventional views led Business Week to describe Tom as "business' best friend and worst nightmare." Tom describes himself as a prince of disorder, champion of bold failures, maestro of zest, professional loudmouth (as a speaker he's "a spitter" according to the cartoon strip Dilbert), corporate cheerleader, lover of markets, capitalist pig... and card-carrying member of the ACLU.
Tom Peters & Bob Waterman co-authored In Search of Excellence in 1982; the book was named by NPR (in 1999) as one of the "Top Three Business Books of the Century," and ranked as the "greatest business book of all time" in a poll by Britain's Bloomsbury Publishing (2002). Tom followed Search with a string of international bestsellers: A Passion for Excellence (1985, with Nancy Austin), Thriving on Chaos (1987), Liberation Management (1992: acclaimed as the "Management Book of the Decade" for the '90s), The Circle of Innovation: You Can't Shrink Your Way to Greatness (1997); The Tom Peters Seminar: Crazy Times Call for Crazy Organizations (1993), The Pursuit of WOW!: Every Person's Guide to Topsy-Turvy Times (1994); and in 1999 a series of books on Reinventing Work: The Brand You50, The Project50 and The Professional Service Firm50.
