THE SEVEN LAWS OF ORGANIZATION PHYSICS

  1. 01  Viability Before Performance “Is today’s success making us stronger or weaker?”
  2. 02  Stewardship “Are we eating the seed corn?”
  3. 03  Entropy “Where is entropy accumulating?”
  4. 04  Feedback Delay “What started six months ago that we are only now noticing?”
  5. 05  Weakest-Link Dominance “What single point of failure keeps me up at night?”
  6. 06  Structural Load “How close are we to our breaking point?”
  7. 07  Institutional Gravity “What incentive or metric is pulling behaviour in the wrong direction?”
