Description:
Peter Engel has a bone to pick with Tom Peters and Robert Waterman. A former top Colgate-Palmolive executive and a professor of entrepreneurial studies at the University of Southern California, Engel believes the venerable coauthors wildly missed the mark in their 1982 megaseller, In Search of Excellence, by focusing on structure rather than people. As proof of his assessment, Engel says that more than half of the 43 corporate examples judged "excellent" in that now-classic book have since exhibited lackluster--or worse--performance. Instead, he writes in The Exceptional Individual: Achieving Business Success One Person at a Time, the spotlight should be shined on "those special folk in business who make things happen." Mixing in reminiscences of relevant encounters he's had with notables, such as Lee Iacocca, Gordon Moore, and Estee Lauder, the author outlines nine attributes that he says such employees share and literately suggests how they can become the real driving force in a company today. He also offers specific advice for identifying these individuals, keeping them attuned to your goals, and encouraging the most from them. --Howard Rothman
