Some good stuff from Tom Peters

Tom Peters has put up a couple of really cool posts on his blog today.

First, he tells us: Don't forget why we're here - a post about how it's easy to lose sight of why you went into business (or political office, or whatever) in the first place. A good reality check!

Then a great post about how companies that centralise power (and thinking) cause stagnation. You can blame management for this, but it's down to the employees as well - a bit like Sheepwalking. The conditioning starts early on in life:

...we tell our kids in school to "sit still, follow the rules, and behave."

This is fine if you want a generation of sheep, following orders and not thinking for themselves, but aren't we beyond that now?
