Tom "Passion" Peters

If you have ever seen "Mr. Excellence", Tom Peters present on stage you understand the meaning of the word passion. The man who made "Management by Walking Around" mandatory corporate behavior walks so much around the stage, you worry about his exhaustion.  So it was great to see this inspirational post from him. Even when you are dog tired (and God who would not be after a 76,000 mile trip)  what you are working on may be the most important thing for your client or customer...find that extra ounce of energy.

I posted this blog under the Innovative Uses of Business Technology category because Tom continues to exhort excellence, creativity, breakout performance. As I have written before CIOs should be pushing to get an Innovation Dividend and then doing their own applied innovation as Hertz, Starbucks. Jetblue and others have done. As they do so, Tom's zany, think out of the box concepts are just as important as building blocks of emerging technology.

Tom  is also a very generous blogger. Many of his prolific presentations and publications are free for download on his blog under resources.

I find it ironic that the Forbes tirade against blogs recommended publishers sue bloggers for copyright violations. Pretty soon - it may be the other way round. Tom (and many other bloggers) offer the world so much for free.

Keeping on walking, Tom!
