Women’s Culture! Study

Tom Peters Company has a strong bias for action. We focus our research and development effort on applications, finding ways to apply the best management thinking about excellence. Our current Women’s Culture Study is an example.

Tom Peters has written much and said even more about the relative attributes of men and women in the context of business excellence. Tom’s position is unequivocal, that “Women Rule!” and will increasingly do so as we move forward in the 21st Century.

Tom Peters Company believes that the excellent companies of the future will be those that can attract, engage, leverage and retain the best talent available in their sector. So, aside from the natural gender rivalries and a lot of rhetoric, we were curious to know if there are measurable characteristics about contemporary women leaders and the context they create in the businesses they run?

We have launched a research project into women owned and women managed businesses using our R!CP culture assessment tool. The first hundred cases have been completed, and a characteristic pattern is emerging. It points to these women leaders having an operating style that generates alignment, builds consensus, is open and inclusive, engenders collaborative working, and is upbeat!

The full findings from the first hundred cases are currently under review with the project sponsors, KPMG.
