Story4 out of 5 stars 108
"Years ago, I wrote about a retail store in the Palo Alto environs—a good one, which had a box of two-cent candies at the checkout. I subsequently remember that 'little' parting gesture of the two-cent candy as a symbol of all that is Excellent at that store. Dozens of people who have attended seminars of mine have come up to remind me, sometimes 15 or 20 years later, of “the two-cent candy story,” and to tell me how it had a sizable impact on how they did business."

Your organization's culture is the key to its success. Strategic planning is essential. People's competencies should be measured and their weaknesses shored up. People crave feedback. These may sound like basic truths of our work lives today. But actually, they're lies. As Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall show in this provocative, inspiring book, there are some big lies - distortions, faulty assumptions, wrong thinking - running through our organizational lives.

This Is Marketing shows you how to do work you're proud of, whether you're a tech start-up founder, a small-business owner, or part of a large corporation. Great marketers don't use consumers to solve their company's problem; they use marketing to solve other people's problems. Their tactics rely on empathy, connection, and emotional labor instead of attention-stealing ads. When done right, marketing seeks to make change in the world.

An empathetic and vulnerable look at leadership
- By Barrett on 07-05-19
Publisher's Summary
Thirty-five years after his iconic In Search of Excellence, best-selling author and management guru Tom Peters is back with his most urgent message yet.
For decades, he has been preaching the gospel of putting people first, and in today's rapidly changing business environment, this message is more important than ever. Gallup numbers show that fewer than one-third of employees feel engaged with their work, and one study suggests that fully half of American jobs are at risk due to technology. But Peters has a solution: a sustained commitment to excellence combined with a commitment to people. These are, he argues, the only tools for coping with and thriving amidst the tsunami of change facing business today.
In The Excellence Dividend, Peters shows that nothing beats a high-quality product or service, designed and delivered by people who are as dedicated to each other as they are to their shared goal. With his unparalleled expertise and inimitable charisma, Peters offers brilliantly simple, actionable guidelines for success that any business leader can immediately implement, punctuated by incisive quotes from some of today's leading lights in business. The Excellence Dividend is an important new book from one of today's leading visionaries in business.

Might be a better read than a listen
The way this book is structured does not lend itself well to an Audible book. I was very disappointed with the way the content was presented. The author seemed to be reading from a set of cryptic notes or a bullet list for most of the book. I had high expectations, but the constant verbalizing of the chapter dividers - 1.1.22, 4.3.6 made if hard to follow a thought flow.

Vintage Tom Peters
I have been following Tom Peters since he wrote: In Search of Excellence.
As with all of Tom’s books this one is filled with many nuggets of wisdom.
Reason this book is like opening up a fire hose and trying to digest it. (In a good way.)
Several times the info was so good I rewound to hear it a second time.
If you are looking to successfully grow your business, this book is invaluable.
I am passing it to my COO.
Highly recommend this book.
