Momentum – Part 5 – Learning from the Master

Andy Stanley is by far the Master of Momentum in my book. I heard him give a talk about momentum a few years ago. I still remember his 3 points. They’re brilliant.

1. New. Anything New generates momentum. Everybody loves new. That’s why Gap changes their product line every 6 weeks. That’s why series preaching works so well. Every few weeks, it’s something new.

2. Improved. People like to know that something isn’t just staying the same. How can you improve what you’re already doing? and then exploit it, like Tide does!!!

3. Improving. People will get on board with something that is in the “process” stages. Giving people an opportunity to be apart of the Developmental phases of something gives them ownership, buy-in and generates momentum.

Momentum is a leader’s best friend, or worst enemy. Learning to make the most of it, can be make or break for your organization and your leadership.

Just a bloggish thought,
