Law of Assigned Function

There’s a difference between being helpful and being promoted. If you’re not being evaluated for leadership, you’re being used for stability. If you want help making a value shift in your specific situation, apply for a strategy call here: https://m.masteryinsights.com/application

What is the Economic Value of Perception?

The Economic Value of Perception is a governing principle that dictates how an individual’s professional contributions are classified by organizational leadership. Value classifications are divided into two distinct categories: "Relief" (support staff function) and "Direction" (leadership function). This mechanism determines whether a professional is evaluated for their execution and helpfulness or their capacity for enterprise consequence ownership and strategic decision-making.

Key Concepts

Ambiguity Ownership: The capacity to "metabolize" unknowns and carry the weight of uncertain consequences, effectively reducing the cognitive load of senior leadership rather than escalating it.

Exposure Language: A shift in language focused on identifying and reducing organizational risks including trade-offs, costs of inaction, and potential surprises instead of reporting on task completion or personal productivity.

Signal-to-Noise Ratio: The ratio of clarity and certainty to drama, reactivity, and unnecessary detail to bring clarity and certainty to a volatile environment without the "drama" of reactive, sympathetic nervous system responses.

Law of Assigned Function: The organizational reality where leaders first assign a specific function (Support vs. Leadership) and subsequently observe all behavior through that specific lens.
