NEW YORK (November 4, 2025)—Think Bigger, Lead Better: Eight to Great Principles for Organizational Success by Rick Tollakson is now available on Amazon and at major booksellers. The book is published with Forbes Books, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes.
In Think Bigger, Lead Better, Rick Tollakson reveals the leadership principles that powered one of the Midwest’s most dynamic real estate transformations. As CEO of Hubbell Realty Company, Tollakson grew the business from seventy to over eight hundred associates while launching multiple new ventures and spearheading large-scale community projects known as “Extreme Builds.”
His book distills that experience into the “Eight to Great” framework—a leadership model rooted in passion, process improvement, calculated risk-taking, and a deep commitment to organizational culture. From fostering entrepreneurial thinking to building teams that go above and beyond, Tollakson shares lessons for leaders who want more than short-term gains.
