"A breakthrough for the genre à Peters in not only the father of the postmodern corporationàhe may well have produced the first place of postmodern management literature." -Los Angeles Times

In 1982, business guru Tom Peters co-authored In Search of Excellence, one of the most influential business guides of all time. More recently, through 400 seminars in 47 states ad 22 countries, Peters reexamined, refined, and reinvented his views on innovation - the #1 survival strategy, he asserts, for businesses of the next millennium.

The Circle of Innovation brings these seminars - and Peters' contagious passion - to the reader in a landmark book. Through bold graphics, astounding facts and figures, and quotes whose sources range from Emile Zola to Steve Jobs, Peters blows the lid off accepted management style. Here is a book that will open your eyes to new ways of envisioning the challenges of today's world. Here, too, is a practical guide that will teach you how to:

-reverse the rising tide of products and service "commoditization" and faster uniqueness

-capitalize on the skyrocketing purchasing power of women

-convert sluggish staff into vital centers of intellectual capital accumulation

-build systems of elegance and beauty

-liberate your creative and individual leadership style

Whether you manage a six-person department or a 60,000-body behemoth, The Circle of Innovation empowers you to transform your organization, your career, yourself. Inspiring, timely, this blueprint for success is pure Peters - a handbook as energetic as it is profound.
