Tom Peters Knihy

Bestseller amerických autorů je zasvěceným pohledem do práce šéfů 36 úspěšných amerických firem. Jde vlastně o propagaci osmi charakteristických rysů vynikajících podniků: 1. Aktivně jednat 2. Být blízko zákazníkovi 3. Autonomnost a podnikavost 4. Zvyšovat produktivitu prostřednictvím lidí 5. Držet se činností, kde vznikají hodnoty firmy 6. Držet se toho, co firma umí a zná 7. Jednoduché organizační formy, nepočetný stav 8. Umět spojovat řízení "pevnou a volnou uzdou"

Dokonalosti – či chcete-li excelentnosti – se dosahuje vykonáváním spousty drobných činností, často s blahosklonnou přezíravostí přehlížených, které však mohou změnit nejen nás samé, ale i organizace, v nichž pracujeme, a svět, který nás obklopuje. S patřičnou dávkou nakažlivého zaujetí, naléhavosti, přesvědčivosti, ale i humoru autor - guru světového managementu, lektor, konzultant - ve své nové knize předkládá 163 doporučení, která podnikatelům a manažerům neustále připomínají, že jejich nejdůležitějším aktivem jsou lidé a že posláním organizací je služba.
