Tom Peters on "Twenty dumbest business practices"

From Tom Peter's blog ...

"A START.

I want to do a list on the "twenty dumbest business practices." I'll give you my 11 starting propositions, scribbled out so far:

• Men as CEOs of consumer goods companies!
• CFOs promoted to CEO.
• Mergers of Decrepit Monsters!
• Strategic plans in excess of three pages.
• Big offices for bosses.
• Focus groups.
• Hiring lots of MBAs.
• HR boss not a member of the Board of Directors.
• CIO not a member of the Board of Directors.
• Corporate staffs in excess of 50 people.
• Anything other than Unbridled Enthusiasm at the top of the hiring or promoting criteria list for any + every job.
