In his new book Re- Imagine www.tompeters.com he believes that: “My overall rant, in brief: People … in enterprise and government … are by large well intentioned. They’d like to get things done. To be of service to others. But they are thwarted … at every step of the way … by absurd organizational barriers … and by egos of petty tyrants (be they corporate middle managers, or army colonels, or school superintendents). An eloquent expression of this message appears in Zero Space: Moving beyond Organizational Limits, by Frank Lekanne Deprez & René Tissen: “The organization we have created have become tyrants. They have taken control, holding us fettered, creating barriers that hinder rather than help our businesses. The lines that we drew on our neat organizational diagrams have turned into walls that no one can scale or penetrate or even peer over.” Yes. Walls. Barriers. Tyrants. Can we regain control…? In: Tom Peters, Re-Imagine. Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age, London, DK Ltd, 2003, page 7 8.
