Description: Show Notes: MLDC Book of the Week – The Three Laws of PerformanceEpisode 318 of The HaltingWinter Podcast _*]:min-w-0 gap-3"> Every organization has a future already in motion. Not the one in the strategic plan. Not the vision you laid out at the last all-staff meeting. The one your people actually believe; the one shaped by every broken promise, every initiative that quietly died, and every reorg that promised efficiency and delivered chaos. In this episode, Seth Winterhalter introduces our MLDC book of the week: The Three Laws of Performance by Steve Zaffron and Dave Logan. These aren't management tips or leadership hacks. They're universal laws, as reliable as gravity, that explain why performance is what it is in your organization, and what it actually takes to change it at the root. If you lead a city, county, or public agency, this book will change how you read the resistance in your meetings, the cynicism in your hallways, and the gap between what you announce and what actually happens. And it will give you a lever most leaders don't know they have.
