Uber guru Tom Peters! has been a big influence on me (including the exclamation mark I use on my short name) ever since the CEO of my first company asked me to read his seminal book In Search of Excellence. I ended up reading all his books and when I joined NI, was pleasantly surprised to know one his books Thriving on Chaos is a recommended reading for managers here. I have been liberally using the word "excellence" and have embraced "excellence" as a life value (though I struggle most of the times) - all thanks to the influence of Tom Peters. I was excited when he announced almost two years ago that he is writing a new book titled Excellence Dividend and grabbed a copy as soon as it was released. I'm now hoping that this book will inspire me to renew my passion for excellence. Tom Peters agues that "excellence" is needed now more than ever before and "the best defense—and offense— for technological change is an unabashed commitment to excellence in all we do" - couldn't agree with him more.
Second book just grabbed my attention in a bookstore at Los Angeles. No idea whatsoever on the contents or the author.
