The Nelson Baker’s Dozen
1. Simple-clear scheme (“Plan”) (Not wildly imaginative) (Patton: “A good plan executed with vigor right now tops a ‘perfect’ plan executed next week.”)2. SOARING/BOLD/CLEAR/UNEQUIVOCAL/WORTHY/NOBLE/INSPIRING “GOAL”/“MISSION”/“PURPOSE”/“QUEST”3. “Conversation”: Engagement of All Leaders4. Leeway for Leaders: Select the Best/Dip Deep/Initiative demanded/Accountability swift/Micromanagement absent5. LED BY “LOVE” (Lambert), NOT “AUTHORITY” (Identify with sailors!)6. Instinct/Seize the Moment/“Impetuosity” (Boyd’s “OODA Loops”: React more quickly than opponent, destroy his “world view”)7. VIGOR! (Zander: leader as “Dispenser of Enthusiasm”)8. Peerless Basic Skills/Mastery of Craft (Seamanship)9. Workaholic! (“Duty” first, second, and third)10. LEAD BY CONFIDENT & DETERMINED & CONTINUOUS & VISIBLE EXAMPLE (In Harm’s Way) (Gandhi: “You must be the change you wish to see in the world”/ Giuliani: Show up!)11. Genius (“Transform the world to conform to their ideas,” “Triumph over rules”) (Gandhi, Lee-Singapore) , not Greatness (“Make the most of their world”) 12. Luck! (Right time, right place; survivor) (“Lucky Eagle” vs “Bold Eagle”)13. Others principal shortcoming: “ADMIRALS MORE FRIGHTENED OF LOSING THAN ANXIOUS TO WIN”

seize the initiative whenever necessary,
particularly in the fog of war —and the men who served under him knew what he expected.” —Jay Tolson, on “The Nelson Touch,” The Battle That Changed
The World

Organizing Genius / Warren Bennis and Patricia Ward Biederman
“Groups become great only when everyone in them, leaders and
members alike, is free to do his or her absolute best.”
“The best thing a leader can do for a
Great Group is to allow its members to discover their
greatness.”

First Sea Lord John Fisher
Do right and damn the odds.Stagnation is the curse of life.
The best is the cheapest.Emotion can sway the world.
Mad things come off.Haste in all things.
Any fool can obey orders.History is a record of exploded ideas.
Life is phrases.Source: Jan Morris, Fisher’s Face, Or, Getting to Know the Admiral

get things done.” – Peter Drucker

“I saw that leaders placed too much emphasis on what some call high-level strategy, on intellectualizing
and philosophizing, and not enough on implementation. People would
agree on a project or initiative, and then nothing would come of it.” —Larry

“The person who is a little less conceptual but is absolutely determined to succeed will usually find the right people and get them together to
achieve objectives. I’m not knocking education or looking for dumb people. But if you have to
choose between someone with a staggering IQ and an elite education who’s gliding along, and someone with a lower IQ
but who is absolutely determined to succeed, you’ll always do better with the
second person.” —Larry Bossidy (Larry Bossidy & Ram Charan/Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done)

The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16
*Niche-aimed. (Never, ever “all things for all people,” a “mini-Wal*Mart.)
*Never attack the monsters head on! (Instead steal niche business and lukewarm customers.)
*“Dramatically Different” (La Difference ... within our community, our industry regionally, etc … is as obvious as the end of one’s nose!) (THIS IS WHERE MOST MIDGETS COME UP SHORT.)
*Compete on value/experience/intimacy, not price. (You ain’t gonna beat the behemoths on cost-price in 9.99 out of 10 cases.)
*Emotional bond with Clients, Vendors. (BEAT THE BIGGIES ON EMOTION/CONNECTION!!)
![Page 46: Tom Peters’ Re-imagine Leadership: Back to the Future! LEADERS IN LONDON 19 October 2005.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56649f1e5503460f94c366ab/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16
*Hands-on, emotional leadership. (“We are a great & cool & intimate & joyful & dramatically different team working to transform our Clients lives via Consistently Incredible Experiences!”)
*A community star! (“Sell” local-ness per se. Sell the hell out of it!)
*An incredible experience, from the first to last moment—and then in the follow-up! (“These guys are cool! They ‘get’ me! They love me!”)
*Design! (“Design” is a premier weapon-in-pursuit-of-the sublime for small-ish enterprises, including the professional services.)
![Page 47: Tom Peters’ Re-imagine Leadership: Back to the Future! LEADERS IN LONDON 19 October 2005.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56649f1e5503460f94c366ab/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16
*Employer of choice. (A very cool, well-paid place to work/learning and growth experience in at least the short term … marked by notably progressive policies.) (THIS IS EMINENTLY DO-ABLE!!)
*Sophisticated use of information technology. (Small-“ish” is no excuse for “small aims”/execution in IS/IT!)
*Web-power! (The Web can make very small very big … if the product-service is super-cool and one purposefully masters buzz/viral marketing.)
*Innovative! (Must keep renewing and expanding and revising and re-imagining “the promise” to employees, the customer, the community.)
![Page 48: Tom Peters’ Re-imagine Leadership: Back to the Future! LEADERS IN LONDON 19 October 2005.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56649f1e5503460f94c366ab/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
The “Small Guys” Guide: Wallop Wal*Mart16
*Brand-Lovemark* (*Kevin Roberts) Maniacs! (“Branding” is not just for big folks with big budgets. And modest size is actually a Big Advantage in becoming a local-regional-niche “lovemark.”)
*Focus on women-as-clients. (Most don’t. How stupid.)
*Excellence! (A small player has no
right or reason to exist unless they are in Relentless Pursuit of Excellence. One earns the right—one damn day and client experience at a time!—to beat the Big Guys in your chosen niche!)
