Tom Peters Business & Career Coach

Tom Peters: He is considered one of the most influential business thinkers of our age and has been hailed as the guru of gurus of management. His unconventional views led 'BusinessWeek' to call him, 'business’s best friend and worst nightmare,' but he has managed to successfully convey his ideas to top managers, the media and the public at large.

Claim to Fame: His first book, 'In Search of Excellence' was named by NPR in 1999 to be one of the top 'Three Business Books of the Century.' He has written a string of international best-sellers and is huge on the lecture circuit.

Prize Points: In 2004, Bloomsbury Press named him among the top 125 'Movers and Shakers.' An in-depth analytic study conducted by Accenture found Peters to be 2nd among the top 50 Business Intellectuals. Two biographies have been published about him.

Personal File: Peters lives on a 1,600-acre Vermont working farm with his wife, the artist and entrepreneur Susan Sargent. He is a civil engineering graduate of Cornell and received his MBA and PhD from Stanford University. He holds honorary doctorates from several institutions.
