THE PERFORMANCE TRAP: Why Strong Results Hide Weak Businesses - and How Adaptive Stability™ Changes What Leaders See

Your dashboard is green. So why is the business getting harder to run?Strong results can hide a weakening business system.The Performance Trap explores what happens beneath the numbers when pressure is absorbed not only by the system, but through people, workarounds, informal decisions and hidden dependencies.Drawing on more than two decades of operational experience, Praveen K introduces a different way to examine organisational performance - not only by asking "How did we perform?", but by asking "What condition produced it and what did it cost?"The book introduces Adaptive Stability(TM) and System Stability & Harm Visibility(TM), perspectives for examining how business systems absorb pressure, adapt to changing conditions and accumulate hidden consequences.Through practical stories, conceptual models and system-level reflection, the book invites leaders to look beyond visible performance and examine the conditions that make performance possible - and sustainable.See beyond results. Build what lasts.
