The three laws of performance

This book is a perfect combination of fine storytelling and solid ideas. The ideas it spreads, are much larger than we normally see in business books. They aren't just tips, instruments, or steps, but are in fact laws that govern individual, group and organizational behavior. It makes you not only understand the laws but also prompts you to implement them in real business scenarios.
The three laws of performance:

a. The people performance is closely related to how situations occur to them. Another way to say it is “There’s what happens and what you make it mean.” It’s not just what happens that we concern about, it’s how we perceive what happens and how we judge what happens. It’s our point of view that gives the meaning to the situation. A skilled leader would merge the bounds of the objectivity and perception in order to manage the situations and overcome the potential communication breakdowns.

b. How a situation occurs, arises in language.
Different people have different levels of expressivity:

















c. Future-based language transforms how situations occur to people.
This law makes the difference between describing what’s there actually and what that means and the generative language that bridges into the future. This is the language that generates something new, an innovative experience. This language expands the horizons of the people thoughts helping them to think “out of the box”. The basic underlying idea here is that when you create a new future, things that might be a problem actually, may not be a problem in a future scenario, so you shouldn’t spend time solving that.

  1. This is a book which is not concerned with ‘explanation’ or ‘understanding’, but with performance: as a leader, as a father, as a teacher, as a doctor, as a brother, as a daughter, as a friend, as an employee, as an employer, as a businessman and as anyone. The book can be our coach in this game of life. Really impressive

  2. Irrational behaviour is a part of human nature, but people tend to behave irrationally in a predictable trend/ tendency.
    So everything that define good or bad is determined form the context in which a event is happening
