About Product
- Scaling up excellence is the key to creating a great organisation.
- It’s how a small enterprise expands without losing focus.
- It’s how a brilliant new idea or plan developed by the few goes on to be adopted by the many.
- And, in hard times and tough situations, it’s how pockets of smart new thinking overcome cultures of indifference or negativity.
- An organisation that doesn’t know how to scale up what is best within it won’t achieve long-term success.

Description
- Bestselling author Robert Sutton and his Stanford colleague Huggy Rao have devoted nearly a decade to uncovering what it takes to create and spread outstanding performance,
- and in Scaling Up Excellence they share the fruits of their research.
- Drawing on case studies that range from Silicon Valley enterprises to non-profit organisations,
- they provide crucial insights into corporate cultures, both good and bad, and offer a road map for establishing and stimulating excellence.
- In the process, they show how to use ‘premortems’ when making big decisions about change.
- They reveal why seven is so often the magic number when it comes to team size.
- They examine successful and unsuccessful quests for improvement – in hospitals, schools and elsewhere.
- And they discuss when a single corporate mindset is best (‘Catholicism’) and when local variation is preferable (‘Buddhism’).
