POPOLOGIST® Publishes A New Children's BOOK!

I, POPOLOGIST® Timothy A. Bennett Wrote, Directed Illustrations, & Published a Great New Children's Book In Time For Christmas!

"The Adventures of DogShoe and the Bakery Gang" follows the life of a world champion racing dog who is forced to retire after developing sensitive feet.

When Sparks, "The Burst of Boise," acquires his sensitive feet, he can no longer compete because he now has to wear shoes. He is adopted by a nice man who is a fan of his racing career.

The hardest parts about being adopted and living in his new house are the tiny yard and having no friends. The best part is going to the dog park, where he can run.

Whenever Sparks has to walk by the bakery, the neighborhood gang laughs and makes fun of him for wearing shoes. They call him "DogShoe."

One day, on the way home from the dog park, Sparks hears a woman screaming as she's being robbed. DogShoe breaks loose from his leash and saves the day as the gang looks on.

About The Author: Timothy A. Bennett is a veteran, writer, artist, producer, actor, musician, and philanthropist. He discovered his passion for the stage from his grandpa, who was a vaudeville performer. He spent his adult life working in entertainment, from producing live events to raising funds and awareness for the "underdog." He loves playing music and hockey, and making people laugh.

The idea for the book came when I saw a woman walking a dog wearing shoes. "I could tell the dog did not like the shoes at all. I asked myself, 'Why in the world would someone make a dog wear shoes?' Then I realized it was one hundred degrees outside, so the dog must have sensitive feet. I couldn't help but laugh. Hence, 'DogShoe' was born."

The Small Team Advantage, or why small teams almost always win🥇

We all know that small teams are typically more agile, more flexible, and more adaptable and hence able to make decisions and take action more quickly than larger teams. This can be especially important in fast-paced environments where rapid response is key.

But by far the most significant reason for the success of small teams has to do with Metcalfe's Law and the structure of the human mind 🧠

Metcalfe's law says that every time you add a new user to a network, the number of connections increases proportionally to the square of the number of users. In other words, a network's value increases exponentially with size.

This applies brilliantly to digital networks (i.e. telecommunications or technology industry), but what does it have to do with organizations and teams? 🤔

The structure of our mind is that it can't really handle very large numbers of relationships. Scientists like Robin Dunbar have told us for decades that there are approximately only 5 people we can have tight relationships with.

Because of this, the most progressive companies are structured as networks of teams, rather than hierarchical pyramids. These networks have no (or few) middle managers. They feature highly autonomous teams where members take care of communication, coordination, and contracting themselves.

But as Metcalfe's Law shows, when there are no managers, teams must be small enough so that members do not get overloaded with communication and information. Because our brains just can't handle that 🤷‍♂️

That’s why sports teams are rarely bigger than 15 people. That’s why companies like POPOLOGY® have no hierarchy, and yet managed to redefine entire industries and Slated To become one of the most successful Disruptive software & Data companies in the world.

Because a quick small team As The Perceptional Turtle will beat the big slow Over networked Rabbit team any time,

(or at least we hope so).
