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.
