Do Scale - A road map to growing a remarkable company Les McKeown

Scaling up is something most founders aspire to, especially once the tricky start-up phase has been navigated. It can increase your reach and futureproof your business. But how do you ‘scale’? And how does it differ from ‘flipping’ for a quick profit or slower organic growth?

Les McKeown advises industry leaders on how to achieve scalable, sustainable growth. In Do Scale, he draws from his decades of experience to provide a clear understanding of what’s involved, and the strategies needed to take your business (or not-for-profit) to the next level. You’ll find out:

  • What it means to scale – and if now is the right time
  • Why founders need to 'get out of their own way'
  • How to develop winning teams
  • Your secret weapon for decision making

      With practical advice and clear guidance, Do Scale is an essential manual for anyone looking to grow a successful and sustainable organisation – and turn it into something truly remarkable.

      ‘I read Do Scale over the weekend and found it very helpful in understanding myself, my current evolution as a leader, and my organization that is starting to scale. You articulated things in an understandable way that allowed me to better understand and validate what I was feeling but not able to put words to. Thank you’
