Our guest this week--on a Classic Rewind episode--to share a few thoughts on this topic is management great, Tom Peters, who is the co-author of In Search of Excellence—the book that changed the way the world does business and is often tagged as the best business book ever written.

TOM PETER'S BIO:
Tom Peters is co-author of In Search of Excellence—the book that changed the way the world does business and often tagged as the best business book ever.
Eighteen books, over 10 million copies and thirty-five years later, Tom is still at the forefront of the “management guru industry” he single-handedly invented. He has since written over 600 syndicated columns.
What’s new? A lot. As CNN said, “While most business gurus milk the same mantra for all it’s worth, the one-man brand called Tom Peters is still reinventing himself.”
Tom’s bedrock belief: “Execution is strategy—it’s all about the people and the doing, not the talking and the theory.”
In November 2017, Tom received the Thinkers50 Lifetime Achievement Award.
