Tom Peters [In his book In Search of Excellence, Tom Peters detailed for millions of

readers the trick behind HP's phenomenal growth and success. The trick, it turned out, wasn't

so much whiz-bang technology as it was a special kind of spirited management.

HP's idea of "management by walking around" focused more on a boss's ability to

communicate goals (rather than orders) to his or her staff. It also put a high premium on a

       manager's ability to watch and listen (rather than bark and bite).

        Here's an excerpt from one of interviews of tom peters:
         he says...
          "......So we talked to our colleagues and we then ended up chatting up Hewlett Packard and

chatting up 3M and chatting up only about two or three other companies and people had

talked to us and we said ‘my gosh, they are talking about all these incredibly strange things

for big companies like people listen to their customers, and if you an officionardo of my work

you will know that we shamelessly stole from Hewlett Packard this idea that was called

MBWA – Managing By Wandering Around’ – which you could call the worst kind of

management consultancy crap but at the time the whole notion was business is not all an

abstraction, business is not all about MBA schools, business is not all about numbers, it’s

about managers who get the heck out of their cubicles and who are actually in true contact

with their employees and their vendors and their customers and doing the face to face thing

        which was not where enterprise was at the time....."
