• Nancye Green, Parsons School of Design '73

    Tom Peters’ Compact Guide to Excellence is full of inspiration for those in the workforce, from cashiers to CEOs. Peters, a legendary best-selling business author, partnered with the iconic designer and New School trustee Nancye Green to create this guidebook for leaders in the workplace. Peters and Green have packed this strikingly designed little book with exhilarating quotations that will help you recognize what truly matters at work.

    The authors argue that business leaders must start putting people first, helping them prepare for a rocky future. As we come to terms with a debilitating pandemic, confront extreme wealth inequality, and wrestle with destabilizing technological revolutions still in their infancy, it is clear that “Extreme Humanism” (treating one another humanely) is the best path forward, engendering purpose and pride in all of us who work.
