Summary of Small Giants (Bo Burlingham)
Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Not every company founder wants to grow big, go public and cash out to live happily ever after. A growing number of companies and founders are choosing a different business trajectory altogether. These companies retain a narrow focus and attempt to become great at what they’re doing rather than simply trying to get bigger all the time. They consciously and deliberately choose to stay private and closely held rather than face the scrutiny and demands of operating as a publicly listed company. And as such, these small companies or small giants
are fast becoming an emerging force in the American business environment. They have their own distinctive soul or mojo
.
In many ways, the business press is slanted towards public companies, which actually make up only a small percentage of the entire business population. Most if not all of the widely accepted business axioms – like the belief companies must grow or die
or the concept of continually striving to get to the next level in sales revenues
– actually apply only to public companies. A private company can stay at the same size and generate healthy profits for its owners ad infinitum without any problems. The owners of a private company can create a great place to work or a business which provides them with a superb lifestyle rather than getting on the never-ending treadmill of needing to grow revenues and profits at all costs.
Overall, the small giants of the corporate world add some much-needed vibrancy and variety. They illustrate what can be achieved when a business avoids the traps of getting too big, spreading out too much or growing too fast. Small giants prove the concept of success in business
is not quite as one-dimensional as most people believe.
