Peters arrived on the public scene in 1982 with the publication of In Search of Excellence, co-authored with Bob Waterman, which topped the bestseller lists for over two years and is now regarded as a business all-time classic. Peters followed this with a string of bestsellers including Thriving on Chaos, Liberation Management, The Tom Peters Seminar, The Pursuit of WOW! and The Circle of Innovation. In addition to writing, Peters presents about 80 seminars a year and serves as Chairman of Tom Peters Company - a global training and consulting organization.
