Tom Peters gives us Great Ideas for the New Year

See if you can find at least half a dozen great ideas for your company. I like "Dream...Big!", "Pursue Adventures in every task", and "A little (or more) boat burning would do many enterprises a world of good." Fortune calls Tom Peters the Ur-guru of management and compares him to Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman and H.L. Mencken. The Economist tags him the Uber-guru. His unconventional views led BusinessWeek to describe him as "business' best friend and worst nightmare." Tom describes himself as a prince of disorder, champion of bold failures, maestro of zest, and professional loudmouth. Tom Peters
