Think Big, Act Small

This summer, instead of writing frequently I chose to spend most of my free time reading. Overall, I probably managed to squeeze in about 10 books. By far my favorite has been Jason Jennings, "Think Big Act Small".

TBAS highlights nine super performing companies and their common traits. This is an approach that has been done quite a few other times (I am also a big fan of Jim Collins From Good to Great), but the advice and lessons in TBAS IMO where not only practical, but could also be implemented in just about any other company (even on a per team level).

While Telligent is still a very small company in the grand scheme of things, we have been growing an a phenomenal rate. TBAS has really opened my eyes to ways I can help keep that small company feel and culture while we manage to grow by leaps and bounds on a monthly basis (it also doesn't hurt that Rob has read and liked the book as well :).

TBAS is also a very easy read, so even if you generally do not enjoy Business/Management type books, I think you will really enjoy this one.
