Summary of Scaling Up Excellence (Robert Sutton and Huggy Rao)
Book Abstract
One of the great challenges facing leaders is how you can take something which is working well in one part of your organization and get everyone else doing the same thing. This should be easy but in practice, it's harder to scale up and spread excellence that you might logically expect.
You always have to approach scaling as a marathon rather than a sprint. There are seven mantras which you should use when scaling:
Spread a mindset, not just a footprint
When scaling, engage all the senses
Link short-term realities to long-term dreams
Enhance personal accountability
Fear (and avoid) the clusterfug
Use both addition and subtraction
Slow down to scale faster in the future
Pure and simple, scaling requires grit. You just have to keep going, even when you face daunting and prolonged challenges. Without grit, you cannot and will not succeed in scaling up.
There are no easy paths to spreading excellence from the few to the many. It's definitely a vexing challenge, but get it right and you can unleash enormous levels of contagious pride within the organization. The potential fruits of success which come about when scaling succeeds make it all worthwhile.
