Momentum and Leadership

Momentum is extremely important when leading.

There are two types of momentum: the kind that comes from something positive that has happened through no work of your own, and momentum that comes when you MAKE something positive happen.

Momentum is so important to the growth of any church or organization that if you don't have it, it's time to do something to create it!

Remember, momentum has to have a starting place. When something good happens (by accident or with purpose), consider it the beginning of your momentum, and capture the enthusiasm of those you lead. You get the ball rolling, and let them push it. Pretty soon, it'll be going so fast that you can't keep up.
