Why do some businesses “fail to scale”? Smooth Scaling offers a clear diagnosis, along with twenty practical Rituals to boost your organization’s performance and achieve frictionless growth.
Where other books on scaling focus on strategy, fundraising, or product-market fit, Smooth Scaling addresses the most pervasive and least-understood fail point that threatens to kneecap even the best-laid scaling plan: organizational friction. Expert Rob Bier reveals why organizational frictions take hold as you grow and how they slow your company down.
These growth pains are both predictable and preventable, yet they almost always take leaders by surprise. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Until now, there’s been no resource to guide executives through this challenge. As a result, they end up playing “Whack-a-Mole,” reacting to a never-ending stream of organizational, team, and people problems one at a time—only for new ones to crop up. Smooth Scaling addresses this gap, presenting a proven approach based on real-life experience and application.
Drawing on his extensive experience building high-performance organizations, Bier has created twenty foundational Rituals that integrate seamlessly into the daily habits of your company. These Rituals make your organization as frictionless as possible, allowing you to scale faster—and more sustainably—than ever before.
In Smooth Scaling, you will learn how to:
Build trust proactively across your organization Turn your managers into a powerful driver of productivity and scalability Build high-performance teams with the people you’ve got Break down barriers between departments to prevent silos Maintain a cohesive high-trust culture as you grow Smooth Scaling is your indispensable guide to building a scalable, high-performing organization. It gives you the insights, frameworks, and tools you need to create a company that’s truly built to last.
From the Publisher
Scaling your company just got easier.
Many business leaders think that expanding a company only involves improvements in strategy, fundraising, or product-market fit. Yet so many fail to realize the largest factor in preventing their organization from growing—poor-quality interactions. This pervasive and least-understood fail point is at the crux of what causes companies to crumble before they ever see their full potential.
Now, Rob Bier is taking his two decades’ worth of experience to explain why high-performing organizations are so dependent on whether those interactions are healthy, functional, and aligned with the values and strategy of the business. With an impressive background as an executive coach, organizational consultant, and former FinTech CEO, Bier presents in his debut book 20 foundational Rituals that business leaders can integrate into their organizations to make interactions as frictionless as possible.
This book does more than just tell executives why the dreaded “fail to scale” phenomenon happens. Unlike other business books, Bier informs his readers of the exact steps needed to turn their businesses into high-performing, highly scalable organizations. Smooth Scaling contains the knowledge that every leader needs to know if they want to succeed in the long run.
Readers will learn:
Why the “fail to scale” problem hasn’t been solved before.
What a high-performance organization is, and how to build one.
How what worked when your company was small won’t work forever.
How to build a top team with the people you’ve got.
How to assess and improve the quality of interactions taking place across their organization.
How to build a culture that has trust at its foundation.
