"Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action."

Reflecting on what we did and how we did it is vital before we delve into making new plans. Here is a coach's advice on how to review your year.

How To Review Your Year

Our perceptions shape our performance. How people perform correlates to how situations occur to them. Your actions will perfectly match the way you see a situation. The facts don’t matter as much as our subjective interpretation of those facts.
This law explains why people behave the way they do and sets the foundation for the other 2 laws. How a situation “occurs” to you depends on:
<ul>
<li>How you interpret the past, or why you believe things are the way they are now; and</li>
<li>What you expect in the future, or the outcomes you expect from your current actions.</li>
</ul>

The Three Laws Of Performance: Law 1

Future-based language transforms how situations occur to people.
People who are unwilling to change their views will have a negative outlook on life, as they expect things to stay the same.
<ul>
<li>Descriptive language describes past events, issues, data etc. It’s useful for looking backwards to spot trends or to analyze what happened.</li>
<li>Future-based language (or generative language) can be used to craft a totally new vision that replaces the default future.</li>
</ul>
You can’t paint a new future if your canvas is already full. You need to create space and ideally start on a blank page.

The Three Laws Of Performance: Law 3

How do companies –– in different countries and industries –– all achieve breakthrough performance when the odds are stacked against them?  The answer: By applying The Three Laws of Performance and thereby re-writing their futures.  Authors Steve Zaffrron and Dave Logan crack the code on rewriting the future for people and organizations, elevating performance to unprecedented levels.

A proven system for rallying all of an organizations' employees around a new vision and ideas for making the vision stick When something at work isn't going smoothly, managers struggle with what part of the problem to tackle first. Do they start with cost reduction? Or should they go for process improvements first? The authors—who have helped hundreds of companies and individuals change and improve—say spend time and money adjusting the systems in which people operate, rather than targeting people and their performance directly. The authors show that it's in fact possible to change everything at once—with a focus on making such transformations permanent and repeatable. Brand-new Introduction written for the paperback edition Filled with illustrative examples from Northrup Grumman, BHP-Billiton, Reebok, Harvard Business School, and many others Two experts in the field show how to make major transformations happen The book outlines a process for engaging all employees to buy-in to an improved vision of an organization's new and improved future.

35 Of The Most Beautiful Words

When we are stressed, completing seemingly urgent (yet actually unimportant) tasks can provide some relief. This is known as the Mere Urgency Effect. Scheduling and attending meetings can make us feel like we’ve accomplished something, and so we’re often loath to decline or cancel them, even if they are objectively not as important as our other work.This is often compounded by a strong sense of inertia: If we’ve always held a certain meeting at a certain time, it’s a lot easier to just keep doing that than to reevaluate whether it’s actually a good idea.

The Psychology Behind Meeting Overload

Whether it’s a succinct declarative statement in an email or a complex argument in a report, your writing has the potential to light up the neural circuitry of your readers’ brains.Good writing gets the reader’s dopa­mine flowing in the area of the brain known as the reward circuit. Just like good food or a hug, well-­executed writing makes us feel pleasure, which makes us want to keep reading.The magic happens when your writing has one or more of these characteristics: It’s simple, specific, surprising, stirring, seductive, smart, social, or story-­driven.
