In the last few months I have come to truly appreciate the priceless value of momentum to any organization or movement.
The Law of MomentumThe total momentum of any group of objects remains the same unless an external force acts on the objects.
There are some organizations which have a lot more positive forces acting on them than the negative forces. These organizations seem to be always be blazing a trail, making all the right decisions with many of their “risky moves” paying off. What did you think when you heard Apple was going to build a cell phone?
Of course there is the opposite of this where the negative forces far outweigh the positive. These organizations seem to never be able to get it together. No matter which opportunities come their way.
We always look at the organizations that are blazing a trail and chalk it up to simply a stroke of luck…
“Oh its their time shine now”
“They just keep getting lucky”
Often with our heads down in the play book strategizing, we miss the obvious strategy or insights which surface from within the organization.
Many of us, deep down inside believe that to build an organization that blazes the trail it takes some special brand of “magic” that just happens once you get a few wins under your belt.
When we observe other organizations who are moving at break neck paste to the next level and think hmmm, there must be some great genius behind this with an almost flawless and well orchestrated plan.Hmmmm, I could be wrong, but at least let me make you think!
Maybe, just maybe its less about genius and more about momentum. The mystic powers of momentum can cause a heightened sense of creativity, insight, inspiration and genius among the people in the organization.
