In these exceptional times, Tom stresses the need for inspiring and humane leadership now more than ever.
As leaders, we must ask ourselves: (1) What are our responsibilities to our employees and the greater community? (2) How will management excellence during uncertain times better shape our futures?
Tom tackles these questions in a number of recent conversations conducted well over six-feet away (!) with various thought leaders.
We hope these words offer you some guidance and wisdom in how you lead your careers and lives. In the meantime, stay safe.

On Diane Hamilton's Take the Lead, Tom talks about his inspirations, motivations and strategies for managing better.
"I’ve been reading so much stuff for the past few years. The whole series of books from Sherry Turkle, a woman from Berkeley on how the new technology is making awful messes of our brain. All of which incidentally, given the timing of our conversation and forgetting the nightmare part is incredibly important relative to this issue.
Are we all going to work for home and what does that mean in terms of social psychological interaction, decision-making, etc.?
I’ve been asked over and over again, the thing that Bob Waterman and I found in doing the In Search of Excellence research way back in 1977, was managing by wandering around in a two-year-old Packard. I’ve always said that’s the only idea I need. It’s not about managing by wandering around. It’s about leaders who are in touch." - Tom Peters
