What: Join for the Tech Author Event Series featuring Bob Sutton, organizational psychologist at Stanford University and the author of the bestselling Good Boss, Bad Boss, among other books, to be interviewed by Chris DeVore,  well-known tech investor, operator, and executive at both public and private companies, for a discussion and Q&A on overcoming the scaling problem.

In Scaling Up Excellence, bestselling author Bob Sutton and Stanford colleague Huggy Rao tackle the topic that obsesses businesses large and small, from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies-how to scale up their businesses and spread excellence throughout the organizational culture.

Based on five years of research in studying the companies across industries-from Silicon Valley tech companies to the airline industry, from pharmaceuticals to retail-Stanford professor and bestselling author Bob Sutton and Stanford colleague Huggy Rao show how companies can overcome the “scaling problem” that every leader, manager, entrepreneur, small-business owner, knowledge worker, and consultant obsess over. The book outlines the principles and lessons learned in creating the right mind-set, replicating excellence throughout an organization’s culture, and constantly working to not just do things faster and with a bigger footprint but to do it better. For managers and companies that are trying to scale up bright spots in a big company, or scale up a high-tech start-up into a potential PayPal or Facebook, Scaling Up Excellence shares the principles that work, the pitfalls the authors have discovered, and shows what people can do to increase the odds of success.
