what makes god laugh?
January 23, 2008 – 3:25 pmPeople making plans.
I agree (without philosophical or religious leanings of any kind): plans can be really funny. So instead… experiment vigorously then… fail. fast. forward.
These are just a few things advocated by business “guru” and management thought leader Tom Peters. Over the course of this year, I have directly applied many of Tom Peters’ insights. Tom just gets it. More importantly, as an entrepreneur, I find Tom’s views truly inspirational.
He emphasizes (and again re-emphasizes) the obvious and subtle nuances of modern business. In my opinion, his blog isn’t as powerful as his raw presentations but it is worth a visit nonetheless if not only to find his other materials.
* Solid introduction to his ideas are available here
* More insights can be dug out of this somewhat lengthy presentation (MS Powerpoint required)
I think so much about doubling my failure rate to the point that it has now become a part of my daily “routine”. Getting over the hump of “failure” isn’t easy but it is an essential ingredient toward innovation, progress and other amazing outcomes.
