How do you know how a situation occurs to you or to other people? You know this through language. Your “listening” as a leader will greatly equip you into knowing how a situation occurs to you. Language is a powerful thing. But most of us were too young when we acquired language to recall how the experience was for us. We often do not pay attention to the presence of language. It seemed like it was with us, since we were breathing. Zaffron and Logan (2009) said, “Language is the means through which your future is already written. It is also the means through which it can be rewritten” (p. 38).
Life is basically unpredictable. There are a lot of things that are beyond our control. Your own performance and that of your group is a challenge in itself to improve or to transform. Most of the time, your boss, your finances, your children, your industry, and your fellow men in general are all resistant to change.
Can you think of a time wherein an authority figure in your life, such as a parent or a teacher, tried to change you? How was that experience? However, the First Law of Performance tells us that your actions correlate with how these occur to you, not to the facts themselves. The experience of change is subjective to you.
