The Three Laws of Performance: Rewriting the Future of Your Organization and Your Life (J-B Warren Bennis) - Softcover
Synopsis
When a hurricane warning is announced, everyone's concerns and actions become focused on that expectation; the hurricane essentially becomes the future which people are "living into." Similarly, when an organization needs to transform or make the leap to a higher level, everyone involved should be "living into" the vision of the organization's new, improved future. But in the majority of organizations, the future people are living into is based on past performance and experience, and so major transformation is almost impossible.
Steve Zaffron is, CEO of Vanto Group which has helped hundreds of companies envision and effectively implement major change and performance improvement. Zaffron and Dave Logan outline this proven system for rallying all of an organization's employees around a new vision, and more importantly, making it stick. Their focus is on making such transformations permanent and repeatable, providing practical examples from Vanto Group’s clients such as Apple, Lockheed Martin, Reebok, BHP-Billiton, Johnson & Johnson, Morgan Stanley, and many others.

Review
The Three Laws of Performance provides a list of rules (and stories explaining how they work in practice) that promise to help individuals in leadership roles facilitate the group coherence and cohesion that are necessary to bring about transcendent performance. The book is based on a wealth of experience from decades of applying the ideas it explains. If you′re interested in this kind of theory, the book is worth a read. ( BrokenSymmetry.typepad.com)

The full title of the book is The Three Laws of Performance: Rewriting the Future of Your Organization and Your Life and it is called a Warren Bennis book if you like Bennis, you ll like this book too.
The premise of the book is that there are three laws that will always affect performance just like the law of gravity will always have an effect on you.
The three laws are:
How people perform correlates to how situations occur to them
How a situation occurs arises in languages
Future based language transforms how situations occur to people
