The Unstoppable Force - MOMENTUM

“The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire.”    Malcolm Gladwell Tipping Point

Law of Momentum     John Maxwell 

Great leaders create momentum     Great leaders harness momentum

How do you get momentum?

·      Cast a vision

·      Get a win  (start with a small win or sure win)

·      Applaud it  (make a big deal out of it)

1.    When you have momentum you don’t worry about small problems they work themselves out.

2.    Momentum makes leaders look better then they actually are  (coaches )

3.    Momentum helps followers perform better than they are  (1980 USA Hockey)

4.    Momentum is easier to steer then to start   (waterskiing)

5.    Momentum is the most powerful change agent

6.    Momentum is the leader’s responsibility to start

7.    Momentum begins inside the leader  (vision, passion, enthusiasm, and energy)
