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 footprintWhen scaling, engage all the sensesLink short-term realities to long-term dreamsEnhance personal accountabilityFear (and avoid) the clusterfugUse both addition and subtractionSlow down to scale faster in the futurePure 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.

Summary of Scaling Up Excellence (Robert Sutton and Huggy Rao)
1. Spread a mindset, not just a footprint
Scaling isn't just a matter of putting your logo on as many people and in as many places as possible and thinking the job is done. To scale, you've got to change how people think, feel and act. You've got to spread the right mindset first and foremost.
In warfare, commentators and commanders tend to think and talk in terms of an “air war” and a “ground war.” The accepted wisdom is having airplanes drop bombs and carry out air strikes is helpful but to genuinely gain ground, you've got to send in troops who will seize territory and assets and secure them. This is the work of a ground war.
Scaling excellence turns out to be more of a ground war than an air war. You won't achieve it by having executives rush in, give some PowerPoint presentations and a few days of training and inspirational speeches and then leave. That's the corporate equivalent of an air war and it won't lead to enduring change.
“Scaling requires grinding it out, and pressing each person, team, group, division or organization to make one small change after another in what they believe, feel or do. When big organizations scale well, they focus on moving a thousand people forward a foot at a time, rather than moving one person forward by a thousand feet.”
- Robert Sutton and Huggy Rao
Scaling always requires grit and determination. It can't be achieved by decree, only by dogged execution. You have to generate a deep and enduring desire to change in your people before it will happen. Effective scaling requires that everyone comes to believe and live a new mindset.
