The Three Laws of Performance Rewriting the Future of Your Organization and Your Life Steve Zaffron 9781118043127 Books Reviews

• This is fantastic book. I served as an officer in the Canadian Forces and have had various leadership roles in the private sector. It has been a rare occurrence for me to see someone actually practicing leadership or espousing leadership qualities that seemed to accomplish very much. I had a recommendation to read this book from one of the few individuals who actually seemed to understand what leadership is. I was exceedingly pleased to read an argument that starts in the fundamentals of human nature (with supporting evidence) that leads to core principles of leadership that have been demonstrated to accomplish something.
  
  This isn't a superficial self-help book -- it has real meat on the bone.
• These "laws" go beyond the usual tips and advice to a shift in thinking about how we create our future with others. Because this book addresses ways to break unproductive patterns in oneself and others and create unfamiliar ways of being and interacting, reading the book alone—understanding alone—will have limited impact. I recommend reading this book after taking the Landmark Forum, an experiential way to get many of these principles into your bones. (Co-author Steve Zaffron, who is on the board at Landmark Worldwide, spearheaded the design of the Forum.)
• This book is invaluable for anyone working with others in any capacity. And who isn't? The concepts are especially valuable if you have come to an impasse, and if the old ways just aren't producing the results and performance you are seeking. The Three Laws outline a new way of seeing and being, and lead the reader through a series of real world examples that illustrate clearly the practical application of the concepts. Highly recommend!
• A compelling read to enable one to begin to alter the conversation about how to create success within your work place and life. I'm a Landmark Forum graduate and have used the distinctions spelled out in this book to reinvigorate myself to believe in new futures for my life. I've also worked in many team environments that I've felt I had no say in recreating when I've felt the negative pull of ineffective management. This book is a vital glimpse of what's possible and coupled with a weekend at a Landmark Forum course is one of the greatest gifts one can give themselves to enable success. Success with organizations and life are not available through being in our own conversations with ourselves. We live in relationship to others always and this book has the keys to our successful future by the conversation we can have to not only empower ourselves but others so we may all be exceptional leaders.
• I chose a high rating because this book occurs to me as an opportunity for those wanting to discover and create leadership. I think it is an inclusive book committed to opening up a way of relating to the world. Opening up to this way of being holds the potential not just for increased performance, but it can also alleviate suffering and save people's health. This book matters!
• A must-read book for personal and professional transformation! I can only imagine the level of integrity, efficiency, productivity and profitability our company would achieve, and the personal levels of happiness, freedom, power and self-expression, if everyone read it and implemented the book's methodology in one's lives. We would all be living lives we love! Highly recommended read!
• The way one reacts to events defines them. The book helps reinforce the idea that events are neutral but the way we respond to them is critical. No goal is achievable without creating the possibility that it can be done. Declaration is the key. Language matters. If you're a Bryan Johnson, Eric Greitens, Srikumar Rao, or Wayne Dyer fan, you'll find the book a good look at self-help for business.
• The 3 laws seem pretty obvious, except that most companies operate exactly this way. Very good explanation of why management and staff have such difficulty communicating. Their solution is well thought out. I believe that any company large or small that incorporates these ideas will vastly improve its performance.
