Managing a high-growth organization requires a combination of strategy and adaptability, but start-up founders and executives often face challenges when seeking to scale up. Instead of laying the groundwork for the future, organizations tend to resort to unsustainable band-aids and duct-tape fixes, implementing anecdote-based solutions from the latest tech-industry unicorns or leadership books, and relying heavily on on-the-fly learning from inexperienced managers. This book aims to provide a comprehensive guide for leaders of high-growth organizations who are seeking to understand and execute the people-management principles essential to their continued success.

Combining a wealth of practical experience, well-grounded academic research, and easy-to-apply frameworks, Andrew Bartlow and T. Brad Harris offer a practical toolkit that founders, functional leaders, and managers of people can use to rethink their practices and meet their organizations' needs. The authors help readers identify the core people-management programs and practices that are best suited for an organization at its current stage and size, while also providing a foundation for continued development and the ability to adapt to inevitable surprises.

Practical, actionable, and supplemented with numerous diagnostic tools and illustrative examples, Scaling for Success is a must-have playbook for organizational leaders pursuing smart and sustainable growth. By implementing these principles, leaders can create a culture of innovation, collaboration, and growth that will propel their organizations to new heights of success.
