Scaling Up Excellence by Robert I. Sutton

Getting to More Without Settling for Less

A practical guide for leaders on how to spread what works across organizations without diluting quality: it explains how to decide what to scale, design simple repeatable processes, and balance faithful replication with local adaptation; emphasizes human-centered tactics—clear priorities, storytelling, small experiments, feedback loops, incentives, and guardrails—to avoid common traps like bureaucracy, loss of identity, or scaling the wrong practices, and uses case examples and actionable rules to help organizations grow excellence deliberately and sustainably.
