Bo Burlingham – Author, Small Giants, Editor-at-Large, Inc
Bo Burlingham is the author of Small Giants: Companies That Choose To Be Great Instead of Big (Portfolio, 2006) and an editor-at-large of Inc. Magazine. Bo joined Inc. in January 1983 as a senior editor and became executive editor six months later, a position he held for the next seven years or so. In 1990 he resigned and became editor-at-large for a number of reasons, including his desire to go back to writing. He subsequently wrote two books with Jack Stack, the co-founder and CEO of Springfield Remanufacturing Corp. and the pioneer of open-book management. One of the books, The Great Game of Business(Doubleday/Currency, 1992), has sold more than 300,000 copies. (It explains what open-book management is and how it works in practice at the company that does it best.) The other, A Stake in the Outcome (Doubleday/Currency, 2002), has also done pretty well and gotten great reviews. (It’s a book you should read if you want to know what it really takes to run an employee-owned company.)
Before joining Inc., Bo freelanced for various publications, including Esquire, Harper’s, Boston Magazine, and Mother Jones. Bo was also managing editor of Ramparts magazine. In 1982, he joined Fidelity Investments, where he wrote for Peter Lynch, Ned Johnson, and other honchos until coming to Inc. From 1992 to 1997, he served on the board of The Body Shop Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of the international cosmetics company. He was also a founder, with Tom Peters, of PAC World, a weird international networking group that gave him a chance to meet a lot of zany—and brilliant—people from around the globe.

He oversees program development and execution, content development, member management, social media and strategic planning in his role as First Officer of Mojo.
When asked what he enjoyed most about his role at the Inc. Small Giants Community Glenn answered, “It’s the direct impact that goes with helping small business owners build great companies. Every employee of the companies we touch has people they interact with professionally and socially. If their job addresses their life fulfillment, they’re going to take that with them into their interactions with everyone they meet. It’s very fulfilling to know that what I do as a part of the Small Giants Community will find its way through many degrees of contact into making people’s lives better.”
Originally from Bellevue, Neb., Glenn currently resides in Dallas, Texas. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Dallas Ultimate Association.
