Still in Search of Excellence - with Tom Peters

Iconic management thought leader Tom Peters is intellectually irritated and still in search of excellence! Join us for episode 16 of the Happy Space Podcast for delightful commentary on the power of women and the end of the three-martini lunch.In our conversation, we explore several of these including Tom’s deep respect for humanity which he refers to as Extreme Humanism. We dive into sensitivity, his fondness for “quiet” people, inclusivity, and the power of female leaders. We tackle the challenges of managing by zooming around and the need for a new kind of leader. While some understand a different leadership mindset is required for the current world of work, many don’t. We are, indeed, still in search of excellence.&nbsp;CHAPTERS00:09:34 Pandemic-influenced leadership skills00:10:48 Passing the introvert scale00:14:35 Tension between leaders and the workforce00:15:38 The death of the three-martini lunch00:16:40 Managing by Zooming around00:17:50 Acknowledge the ask00:23:00 Promote more women00:26:56 We are a little bit less worse00:31:21 Intellectual irritation00:34:44 Can leaders slow down?00:35:51 Relationships are inversely proportional to speed, period00:39:48 Saying no to booze&nbsp;LINKSSusan Cain's "Quiet"Elaine AronFinancial Times article: “Tom Peters: McKinsey's work on opioid sales represents a new low”The Female Brain - Louann BrizendineSurvival of the Friendliest: Understanding Our Origins and Rediscovering Our Common Humanity - Brian Hare, Vanessa WoodsDomain HomeWashington Speakers BureauChristine FarrellLeadership the Hard Way: Why Leadership Can't be Taught and How You Can Learn it Anyway - Dov Frohman with Robert HowardSEED blog postTom Peters’ websiteIMAGE CREDITS (see on Youtube video)Quiet book cover - credit Clare KumarSensitive book cover - credit Clare KumarElaine Aron - credit Clare KumarTom Peters - credit Tom PetersElaine Aron - credit Clare KumarBill Clinton - credit Wiki CommonsVideo of audience - credit&nbsp;Envato Elements#Acknowledgetheask - credit Clare KumarFinancial Times - credit Depositphotos.comThe Female Brain cover - credit&nbsp;Clare KumarChristine Farrell - credit Washington Speakers BureauLeadership: The Hard Way - credit Goodreads&nbsp;Learn more about and follow Tom:YoutubeLinkedIn<a href="https://twitter.com/tom_peters" rel="noopener noreferrer"...
