Redesigning The DNA Of Your Life And Your Organization

The Three Laws of Performance reconstructs how we look at problems, challenges and solutions that impacts, as we should be looking at it, the intersection of our personal and professional lives. Steve Zaffron and Dave Logan, performance experts, go right to the heart of the matter: how to achieve extraordinary, lasting results.

This happens by employing the three laws to your personal and professional environments:

Law 1:  How People Perform Correlates To How Situations Occur To Them –The First Law rejects the concept that people do what they do because of a common understanding of the facts, and instead takes the view that people do what they do because their actions are correlated to how situations occur to them.  When people understand that situations occur differently to each of us, then other people’s responses and actions suddenly make sense.

Law 2:  How A Situation Occurs Arises In Language – How situations occur is inseparable from language.  Untying the knots of language begins with seeing that no matter what is said, other communication is carried along with it.  The unsaid – but communicated – includes assumptions, expectations, disappointments, resentment, regrets, interpretations, and more.

Law 3:  Future-Based Language Transforms How Situations Occur To People – This Law rests on an important distinction:  there are two different ways to use language.  The first use is descriptive – using language to depict or represent things as they are or have been.  The second is future-based.  It has the power to craft vision, and to illuminate the blinders that prevent people from seeing possibilities.
