Are You Weird Enough to Win? Tom Peters The NAB Radio Show New Orleans/

“We are entering an era of no limits, with nothing to brake the cascade of human intelligence unleashed by the Information Age. The Web essentially allows all the brains on earth to communicate and share insights in real time, around the globe, all the time.” Jeffrey Young, Cisco Unauthorized

“In 25 years, you’ll probably be able to get the sum total of all human knowledge on a personal device.” Greg Blonder, VC [was Chief Technical Adviser for Corporate AT&T] [Barron’s ]

prior 900 years 1900s: 1 st 20 years > 1800s 2000: 10 years for paradigm shift 21 st century: 1000X tech change than 20 th century (“the ‘Singularity,’ a merger between humans and computers that is so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history”) Ray Kurzweil, talk april2001

Part I: Brand Inside Part II: Brand Outside Part III: Brand Leadership

Work I The Destruction Imperative!

“The corporation as we know it, which is now 120 years old, is not likely to survive the next 25 years. Legally and financially, yes, but not structurally and economically.” Peter Drucker, Business 2.0 (08.00)

“Good management was the most powerful reason [leading firms] failed to stay atop their industries. Precisely because these firms listened to their customers, invested aggressively in technologies that would provide their customers more and better products of the sort they wanted, and because they carefully studied market trends and systematically allocated investment capital to innovations that promised the best returns, they lost their positions of leadership.” Clayton Christensen, The Innovator’s Dilemma

“Acquisitions are about buying market share. Our challenge is to create markets. There is a big difference.” Peter Job, CEO, Reuters

Brand Inside Redefining the Work Itself: The WOW Project

“Reward excellent failures. Punish mediocre successes.” Phil Daniels, Sydney exec

“Learn not to be careful.” Photographer Diane Arbus to her students (Careful = The sidelines, per Harriet Rubin in The Princessa)

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. Michelangelo

Characteristics of the “Also rans”* “Minimize risk” “Respect the chain of command” “Support the boss” “Make budget” *Fortune, article on “Most Admired Global Corporations”

Forbes100 from 1917 to 1987: 39 members of the Class of ’17 were alive in ’87; 18 are in ’87 F100; the 18 F100 “survivors” underperformed the market by 20%; just 2 (2%), GE & Kodak, outperformed the market from 1917 to S&P 500 from 1957 to 1997: 74 members of the Class of ’57 were alive in ’97; 12 (2.4%) of 500 outperformed the market from 1957 to Source: Dick Foster & Sarah Kaplan, Creative Destruction: Why Companies That Are Built to Last Underperform the Market

Message*: Are all CEOs bozos? Was Darwin a genius, or what? So, Boss Man, whadda you say about “risk taking” now? *And “all that” (2 of 100; 12 of 500) was in relatively placid times.

Brand Inside Brand Talent: The Great War for Talent

From “1, 2 or you’re out” [JW] to … “Best Talent in each industry segment to build best proprietary intangibles” [EM] Source: Ed Michaels, War for Talent ( )Ed Michaels

“We believe companies can increase their market cap 50 percent in 3 years. Steve Macadam at Georgia-Pacific changed 20 of his 40 box plant managers to put more talented, higher paid managers in charge. He increased profitability from $25 million to $80 million in 2 years.” Ed Michaels, War for Talent ( )

Message: Some people are better than other people. Some people are a helluva lot better than other people.

“AS LEADERS, WOMEN RULE: New Studies find that female managers outshine their male counterparts in almost every measure” Title, Special Report, Business Week,

Women’s Stuff = New Economy Match Improv skills Relationship-centric Less “rank consciousness” Self determined Trust sensitive Intuitive Natural “empowerment freaks” [less threatened by strong people] Intrinsic [motivation] > Extrinsic

“TAKE THIS QUICK QUIZ: Who manages more things at once? Who puts more effort into their appearance? Who usually takes care of the details? Who finds it easier to meet new people? Who asks more questions in a conversation? Who is a better listener? Who has more interest in communication skills? Who is more inclined to get involved? Who encourages harmony and agreement? Who has better intuition? Who works with a longer ‘to do’ list? Who enjoys a recap to the day’s events? Who is better at keeping in touch with others?” Source: Selling Is a Woman’s Game: 15 Powerful Reasons Why Women Can Outsell Men, Nicki Joy & Susan Kane-Benson

“Boys are trained in a way that will make them irrelevant.” Phil Slater

The Cracked Ones Let in the Light “Our business needs a massive transfusion of talent, and talent, I believe, is most likely to be found among non-conformists, dissenters and rebels.” David Ogilvy

“Are there enough weird people in the lab these days?” V. Chmn., pharmaceutical house, to a lab director (06.01)

And And: Dr. Laura Larry King Paul Harvey Imus Howard Stern Pat Robertson Garrison Keillor John Edwards

MantraM3 Talent = Brand

Part I: Brand Inside Part II: Brand Outside Part III: Brand Leadership

Work II The Sameness Trap

“The ‘surplus society’ has a surplus of similar companies, employing similar people, with similar educational backgrounds, working in similar jobs, coming up with similar ideas, producing similar things, with similar prices and similar quality.” Kjell Nordstrom and Jonas Ridderstrale, Funky Business

“Companies have defined so much ‘best practice’ that they are now more or less identical.” Jesper Kunde, A Unique Moment Jesper Kunde

Brand Outside Strategy 1 : Use E-Commerce to Re-invent Everything!

“Ebusiness is about rebuilding the organization from the ground up. Most companies today are not built to exploit the Internet. Their business processes, their approvals, their hierarchies, the number of people they employ … all of that is wrong for running an ebusiness.” Ray Lane, Kleiner Perkins

“The concept of being always on, always connected, is very powerful. … Companies are going to need to reach consumers across all the different transmission media and devices – across wireless, on cell phones, into cars, onto airplanes, into cabs, into the home and TV set. … It’s not just the message – now you’ve got a connection, what do you do with that?” Marc Andreessen [Mosaic, Netscape, Loudcloud]

“The Age of the Never Satisfied Customer” Regis McKenna

Read This Book … EVEolution: The Eight Truths of Marketing to Women Faith Popcorn & Lys Marigold

FemaleThink/ Popcorn “Men and women don’t think the same way, don’t communicate the same way, don’t buy for the same reasons. “He simply wants the transaction to take place. She’s interested in creating a relationship. Every place women go, they make connections.”

EVEolution: Truth No. 1 Connecting Your Female Consumers to Each Other Connects Them to Your Brand

“The ‘Connection Proclivity’ in women starts early. When asked, ‘How was school today?’ a girl usually tells her mother every detail of what happened, while a boy might grunt, ‘Fine.’ ” EVEolution

What If … “What if ExxonMobil or Shell dipped into their credit card database to help commuting women interview and make a choice of car pool partners?” “What if American Express made a concerted effort to connect up female empty-nesters through on-line and off-line programs, geared to help women re-enter the workforce with today’s skills?” EVEolution

“Women don’t buy brands. They join them.” Faith Popcorn, EVEolution Faith Popcorn

STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY: I am a businessperson. An analyst. A pragmatist. The enormous social good of increased women’s power is clear to me; but it is not my bailiwick. My “game” is haranguing business leaders about my fact-based conviction that women’s increasing power – leadership skills and purchasing power – is the strongest and most dynamic force at work in the American economy today. Dare I say it as a long-time Palo Altan … THIS IS EVEN BIGGER THAN THE INTERNET! Tom Peters

27 March 2000: to TP from Shelley Rae Norbeck “I make 1/3 rd more money than my husband does. I have as much financial ‘pull’ in the relationship as he does. I’d say this is also true of most of my women friends. Someone should wake up, smell the coffee and kiss our asses long enough to sell us something! We have money to spend and nobody wants it!”

Brand Outside Strategy 3 : BRAND POWER!

“WHO ARE YOU [these days] ?” TP to Client

Brand = You Must Care! “Success means never letting the competition define you. Instead you have to define yourself based on a point of view you care deeply about.” Tom Chappell, Tom’s of MaineTom’s of Maine

“You do not merely want to be the best of the best. You want to be considered the only ones who do what you do.” Jerry Garcia
