Scaling up Excellence by Hayagreeva Rao

Scaling up excellence is the key to creating a great organisation. Scaling Up Excellence is the first management book devoted to what is or should be a core priority for every organisation.

The pair’s eagerness drips from every page and it would be a hard-hearted reader who left Scaling Up Excellence anything less than thoroughly energised about the potential for positive change.. Very good indeed. -- Robert Jeffery * Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development *
Practical and spiced with entertaining case studies. They do not shy away, either, from pointing out that it may sometimes make sense to stay small. * Financial Times *
Explains how a brilliant idea or plan developed by a few people can be effectively adopted by the whole workforce. * Director *
