Scaling Up Excellence:
Getting to More Without Settling for Less
by
Over the past 30 years, I have lost track of how many business, process improvement and quality assurance books I have read (or in too many cases, tried to read but had to put down because of lack of substance.)
I have also learned that sometimes book reviews can be short and to the point, as is this one.
Many of those business authors look for the latest fad, add some diagrams and fill pages with the trendy new buzzwords. This book is a rewarding exception to that approach, as it is a breath of fresh air that examines proven approaches to business and develops those ideas.
I have worked for large international companies , mid size and family owned companies, as well as entrepreneurial launches and this well researched book offers some excellent insights. Scaling Up Excellence includes strategies on to help both people and their organizations focus on what should be the most important for the longest and time and how to be GREAT at it! The illustrations make sense that one can learn from.
This book is neither easy or hard to read, but it does require some thinking and assessment of the authors’ 7 Principles for achieving and maintaining excellence.
Highly Recommended!
