Scaling Leadership: A Manifesto
By Robert J. Anderson, William A. Adams
"Ineffective leadership caps the ability of an organization to grow. Leadership that works at one level of scale is likely to run into serious limitations at the next level. The men and women who may be well-suited to lead a 100-person business unit with $30 million in annual revenues may be unable to lead a 250-person business unit with $100 million in annual revenues. To scale the organization, you must scale ever more effective leadership."
