Small Giants

Companies That Choose to Be Great Instead of Big
Book • 2005
In 'Small Giants', Bo Burlingham explores companies that have rejected the pressure to grow endlessly and instead focus on more satisfying business goals.

These companies, termed 'small giants', prioritize being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing excellent customer service, making significant contributions to their communities, and finding fulfilling ways to lead their lives.

The book highlights examples such as Anchor Brewing, Righteous Babe Records, and Clif Bar Inc., and discusses the benefits and challenges of maintaining a smaller, more personalized business approach.
