Momentum really is a leaders best friend.
Sometimes momentum is the only difference between losing and winning. That's why in the game of basketball when the opposing team scores a lot of unanswered points and starts to develop too momentum, a good coach will call a time-out. He knows that if the other teams momentum gets too strong, his team is likely to lose the game.
Momentum also makes a huge difference in organizations.
When you have no momentum, even the simplest tasks can seem to be insourmountable problems. But when you have momentum, the future looks bright, obstacles appear small, and trouble seems temporary.
