The Tom Peters Blog (not by Tom)

As I continue to play musical chairs with my RSS feeds, I have decided to ditch the "Tom Peter's Blog".

If Tom actually posted himself, it would undoubtedly stay on my list.  But instead a whole host of staffers maintain the blog, and their writing is not in the same league as Tom's.

It is interesting move, and a frustrating one.  Tom is Tom because his style of communication is unique.  His turn of phrase, use of grammar and ability to cut to the chase is what most Tom fans enjoy.  His unorthodox style is his point of difference from the masses of management writers and self-styled gurus floating about out there.

So why let a bunch of staffers maintain your own blog?  Particularly when their writing is no different to anything else out there?  Why risk tarnishing the brand?

Tom is compelling.  His hired-help are not.
