Drawing on inside accounts and case studies and academic research from a wealth of industries-- including start-ups, pharmaceuticals, airlines, retail, financial services, high-tech, education, non-profits, government, and healthcare-- Sutton and Rao identify the key scaling challenges that confront every organization. They tackle the difficult trade-offs that organizations must make between whether to encourage individualized approaches tailored to local needs or to replicate the same practices 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 people-- rather than ruining or watering down the very things that have fueled successful growth in the past. They unpack the principles that help to cascade excellence throughout an organization, as well as show how to eliminate destructive beliefs and behaviors that will hold them back. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eScaling Up Excellence\u003c\/i\u003e is the first major business book devoted to this universal and vexing challenge and it is destined to become the standard bearer in the field.","brand":"Crown Currency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944260567271,"sku":"9780385347020","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_c712e14a-cd9e-4c56-95c3-f26147b567fa.jpg?v=1775357174","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/scaling-up-excellence-getting-to-more-without-settling-for-less","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
