Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Scaling up excellence is the key to creating a great organisation. Its how a small enterprise expands without losing focus. Its 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, its how pockets of smart new thinking overcome cultures of indifference or negativity. An organisation that doesnt know how to scale up what is best within it wont achieve long-term success. 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). Scaling Up Excellence is the first management book devoted to what is or should be a core priority for every organisation. As such it is destined to become the standard bearer. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 368 pages. In Scaling Up Excellence, bestselling author Robert Sutton and Stanford colle ague Huggy Rao tackle a challenge that determines every organization?s success : scaling up farther, faster, and more effectively as a program or an organizati on creates a larger footprint. Sutton and Rao have devoted much of the last deca de to uncovering what it takes to build and uncover pockets of exemplary perform ance, to help spread them, and to keep recharging organizations with ever better work practices. Drawing on inside accounts and case studies and academic resear ch from a wealth of industries ? including start-ups, pharmaceuticals, airline s, retail, financial services, high-tech, education, non-profits, government, an d healthcare -- Sutton and Rao identify the key scaling challenges that confront every organization. They tackle the difficult trade-offs that organizations mus t make between ?Buddhism? versus ?Catholicism? -- whether to encourage i ndividualized approaches tailored to local needs or to replicate the same practi ces and customs as an organization or program expands. They reveal how the best leaders and teams develop, spread, and instill the right mindsets in their peopl e -- rather than ruining or watering down the very things that have fueled succe ssful growth in the past. They unpack the principles that help to cascade excell ence throughout an organization, as well as show how to eliminate destructive be liefs and behaviors that will hold them back.Scaling Up Excellence is the first major business book devoted to this universal and vexing challenge. It is destined to become the standard bearer in the field.…
