About Small Giants

Bo Burlingham examines companies that pursue excellence without treating endless expansion as the only measure of success. The selection extends leadership into questions of organizational purpose.

This belongs in the enterprise companions to the leadership collection and is cross-linked from AI, Business & Productivity.

Why I include it

Bigger is not the only way to judge a business. Small Giants gives purpose, discipline, and responsibility a place in the discussion of company growth. It is a useful companion to Company of One.
