Three Law’s of Performance-1

In the book "Three Laws of Performance", authors Steve Zaffron and Dave Logan provide beautiful insights into the principles that govern the performance in human beings.

Performance is a measure of both efficiency and effectiveness. Performance is most important parameter in today's world.

The First law states:

How People perform correlates to how situation occurs to them 

It says that the performance is correlated to the "occurring" world.

Let's look into this word "occur" –

In any given situation, a person looks at a situation from certain perspective. Imagine that the situation is captured on a video camera. The video recording depends on the angle at which the situation is recorded. If the camera is covered with yellow filter, the recording will have yellowish color on the video.

 Similarly for a person how a situation occurs depends on the perspective and the filters. In human beings the filters may be the opinions, judgment, logic and past experience.

You might have experienced, some people when faced with challenge might work with lot of enthusiasm and energy while others are threatened and working hard to survive.

If you can really observe and understand from the place the person is taking the action, you will see that the person is taking action as per the occurring world.

Later we will look at the other two laws that help in altering the occurring world.

Once the occurring world is altered, automatically the action will also be consistent with it. Once the actions are different the results that  is produced will be different.  Once again the First law –

How People perform correlates to how situation occurs to them
