Tom Peters is retiring, marking the end of an era in leadership and management thought. For many, including myself during my university days in Germany, Peters’ work was a revelation. He cut through the abstract, theory-heavy models of the time with practical, human-centric insights that transformed the way we think about business. As we look back on his legacy, it’s clear that his lessons on excellence, communication, and leadership are more relevant than ever in today’s fast-paced world. Join me in rediscovering the timeless principles that continue to shape how we lead in the 21st century.
