I think many successful people and organizations take a similar approach all around. Is your baseball team underfunded compared to others? Use the lowered expectations to test theories and find market innefficiencies. Are customers are worried that our company is too small?

Offer employees special deals that no larger employer would even consider (like the wave height deal in the story). Take the weakest part of you and beat the bastards with it.
