"This well-written book should inspire thousands of entrepreneurs to reject a mantra of growth-for-growth’s sake in favor of a passionate dedication to becoming the absolute best."

"It aims to do for small private companies what In Search of Excellence did two decades ago for big public companies: shine a light on a handful of business practices the author admires, and which he believes are the reason some companies consistently do better than others."

"With new management books arriving by the boatload, Bo Burlingham has somehow managed the near impossible—he's given us a true original. Moreover, in the process he may have 'discovered' the most interesting and underreported corner of the U.S. economy. In short, Small Giants is a Large Masterpiece. Bo's reporting is stupendous, and his writing and storytelling skills make the book equal parts fun and profound."

"The fourteen companies that Bo Burlingham... features in his book Small Giants demonstrate conclusively that a company can resist the temptation to keep getting bigger and bigger—and wind up better for it."
