Creating an Energized Workplace

In his newsletter, Fast Forward, management consultant Tom Peters has the following advice:

·      Do excellent work, known around the world for its innovativeness.

·      Attract exciting people - more than a few of whom are a little offbeat.

·      Question "the way things are done around here," and never, ever rest on your laurels. (Today's laurels are tomorrow's compost.)

·      Make sure those who leave, voluntarily or involuntarily, testify as to having learned a lot, had a special experience, and made fast friends while they were here. (Ye shall be known by your alumni!)

·      Create a collegial, supportive, zany, laughter-filled environment where folks support one another and office "politics" are as absent as is possible in a human (i.e. imperfect) enterprise.

·      Never allow a question or innuendo to surface about your ethics.

·      Dot the i's, cross the t's, answer the phones promptly, send out errorless invoices, and, in general, never forget that "the devil is in the details."

·      Work with exciting customers (and other partners) who turn you on, who stretch you, from whom you can learn, and who are fun to be around (and who pay their bills on time, too!).

·      Take in substantially more money than you spend (but make sure spending includes above-average compensation and a very high level of investment in the future).

·      Grow via quality services and customers, not mere growth for growth's sake.
