Tom Peters
 He is considered to be 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 'Business Week' 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. 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. He became the first (and most outstanding) exponent of the late 20th-century phenomenon of the management lecture. He stood at the forefront of a new generation of management experts who took their wisdom off the bookshelf and into the classroom. Energetic, lively and entertaining, he wowed crowds of executives in conference halls from Hamburg to Hong Kong, the leader of a regular (and highly influential) migration of American gurus spreading the gospel of American management excellence to all corners of the earth. He peddled his theories of excellence with the exuberance and evangelistic zeal of a 19th-century cough-syrup salesman. He is a civil engineering graduate of Cornell and received his MBA and PhD from Stanford University. He holds honorary doctorates from several institutions.
