SCALING UP EXCELLENCE
Getting to More Without Settling for Less
From the internationally bestselling author of The No Asshole Rule, Robert Sutton, and co-author Huggy Rao comes a ground-breaking book about how to spread excellence from the few to many, and how to do so without compromising what is already working.
The book captures the two hallmarks of successful scaling: that senior executives spread existing pockets of excellence to more people and more places; and continually strive to do things better. Scaling is a crucial skill for building vibrant and enduring organizations in every industry and sector and Sutton delves into how executives can spread superior beliefs and behaviors, mobilize mindsets, and reduce cognitive load for
their employees in order to implement new standards of excellence.
The principles and lessons in Scaling Up Excellence are wide-reaching - whether you are trying to scale bright spots in a huge organization, or trying to scale up within a small business, there is something of great value to be found here. Robert Sutton is an organizational psychologist by training and one of the leading management experts in the US. He is Professor of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University and the author of several bestselling books including The No Asshole Rule and most recently Good Boss, Bad Boss, as well as his more academic writing from the Harvard days. Hayagreeva “Huggy” Rao is the Atholl McBean Professor of Organizational Behavior, and the Morgan Stanley Director for the Center for Leadership Development and Research, both at the Graduate School of Business, Stanford University. Rao is also a Fellow of the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Science, the Sociological Research Association and the Academy of Management. He was the editor of the Administrative Science Quarterly, the most prestigious peer-reviewed organizational theory journal. Rao currently directs the Managing Talent for Strategic Advantage Program, and with Sutton, co-directs the Customer Focused Innovation Program at the Graduate School of Business in Stanford University.
