Summary
 How did companies, both large and small, in different countries and industries, all achieve breakthrough performances when the odds were stacked against them? How did an engineer turned CEO transform his New Zealand steelmaking company around in one year and become a leader in the industry? How did a 600-person team, within the largest petroleum company in Brazil, overcome skepticism and dysfunctional dynamics to achieve the biggest process integration success in history? How did a major Japanese housing manufacturer thrive despite the worst economy in a generation? How did a South African platinum mine improve its safety performance by 57 percent in one year? All of these results were possible because people applied The Three Laws of Performance and rewrote their futures.

This audiobook will show you how to do the same in your organization and your life. Although most of us aren't aware of it, we have a future that's already been written. Our future is written by hopes, fears, dreams, expectations, and decisions made about life. In the same way, organizations have futures written by history, circumstances, culture, aspirations, successes, and failures. These already-written futures determine and shape the level of performance that's possible for individuals and organizations. Authors Steve Zaffron and Dave Logan crack the code on rewriting the future for people and organizations, elevating performance to unprecedented levels.

I have the book and audio book. I review it every few years. The laws and concepts will challenge many looking for a quick fix, survival strategy , manipulation strategy or applied formula.

This book talks about taking performance to the next level and the clutter and noise of the uncommunicated that stops performance. And what you need to do to make the space to create.

From experience, if you truly take this on, your performance with a team where you apply these with integrity is an amazing and efficient experience.

It helps that I've done Landmark training, this book was a lot easier to digest and apply than it might be for someone who is going through this journey alone only using this book. However, I think this book could help everyone. As a graduate, this was a mini Forum, a topping up of possibility. Highly recommend to anyone who is committed to letting go of what is holding you back, to create the future you want to create, either personally or professionally.

Outstanding book, well narrated

The laws are stated as axioms but no evidence is given in support of them apart from anecdotes. This is a philosophy book at heart

Spoiler: The three laws aren't laws
