The latest from the Guru, Oct 1 2005
By therosen "therosen" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tom Peters Essentials Talent (Paperback)
This new book focuses tightly on one of Tom's big areas - Talent. How do you make the best people want to work for you? And how do you get the most out of them? And how do you improve yourself? Tom's very much in the Free Agent Nation camp, expecting all of us to be individual enteprenuers, even if we work for Big Inc. He also believe that we don't have a choice - the new world is forcing it on us.
Like most of his books, we're treated to stories, statistics, and some very heavy exhortations. Do it or die trying!
The only downside is it is a bit redundant if you've read Re-imagine, but we all need a refresher.

Stimulating content, May 25 2007
By R. Hazlett - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tom Peters Essentials Talent (Paperback)
Tom Peters (and Seth Godin) should be required reading for all college courses. Great little book with easy to digest content, awesome design and stimulating ideas.

Sometimes over the top, sometimes right on target, Feb 29 2008
By Edward Caulfield - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tom Peters Essentials Talent (Paperback)
After reading this book, I ask myself "Why?". Why must we have a Me Inc.? Why must we doggedly pursue a vision of WOW projects, constant re-invention and innovation? If I don't I'll suffer substandard pay, my children won't be able to eat and my mortgage will foreclose?
Madness I say. A cultural aberration created by a ficticious requirement to have more and more and more and more, of what? For what? Perhaps I missed the chapter, but I don't recall one word on "value of life". It was just chase, chase, chase, chase. Like an addiction. Dogs do this when you throw them a ball don't they? However, even a dog eventually gets tired of the purposless repetition.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book, however consider it to be a classic example of how fundamentally insane our western culture is. Everyone should read it!
