One of the great
delights of this book is getting to see the world through Tom Peters' singular
eyes. You'll dip into the book, intending to stay for a quote or two - and
emerge with your assumptions turned happily upside down.

Just when you thought
Tom Peters was about to drop the curtain on his writing career, here's proof
that he still has one more trick up his sleeve, Tom Peters' Compact Guide to
Excellence, which succinctly speaks to the topics closest to his heart. How
do you process a lifetime of insights from the person who literally "wrote the
book" on organizational excellence? Since you may not have the time to read
through all 6,500 pages of Tom first nineteen books, it was very kind of him to
have summarized his most fervent beliefs in this latest slim volume. And,
speaking for those of us who have been along for more of the journey, all I can
say is, Thanks, Tom! From beginning to end, it's been a great adventure of
learning and leadership.

I love this concept
from Tom Peters, which delivers a wonderful ready-to-hand collection of
inspiration and provocation for every business person to dip into in every
possible business circumstance, but importantly, infused with Tom's principle
of Extreme Humanism: ensuring people always come first.

Tom Peters' Compact
Guide to Excellence propelled me on
a rollercoaster ride of emotions-the ups, downs, and arounds of extreme
humanism and achieving excellence. That's always the case when I read, watch,
and listen to Tom Peters. He makes me-and everyone I know- feel something. I
think that's what this book, and "Extreme Humanism," is all about-getting the
juices flowing in service of the value and goodness of people. Grab a copy now.
Read it, savor it, put it to use. And please, please pass the word to everyone
you know. Reading what Tom and the hundreds of others in this book have to say
is a call to action, and we desperately need an army of extreme humanists to
take charge of communities, companies, and the country.

Tom Peters proves once
and for all that the shareholder primacy model is not only cruel, it's
completely ineffective. This compact guide is a play book for breaking the
chokehold that the language of finance has on business and restoring a sense of
purpose and pride to work.
