Scaling Up Excellence

The problem of more

Part 1: Setting the stage
1. It’s a ground war, not just an air war: Gowing slower to scale faster (and better) later
2. Buddhism versus Catholicism: Choosing a path

Part 2: Scaling principles
3. Hot causes, cool solutions: Stoking the scaling engine
4. Cut cognitive load: But deal with necessary complexity
5. The people who propel scaling: Build organizations where ‘I own the place and the place owns me’
6. Connect people and cascade excellence: Using social bonds to spread the right mindset
7. Bad is stronger than good: Clearing the way for excellence

Part 3: Parting points
8. Did this, not that: Imagine you’ve already succeeded (or failed)
