ARE YOU A MOMENTUM MAKER... OR BREAKER?


A train travelling 55 mph on a railroad track can crash through a 5-foot thick steel-reinforced concrete wall without stopping.  That same train, starting from a stationary position, won't be able to go through an inch-thick block of concrete placed in front of the engine.

It is never the size of your problem that is the problem.  It's a lack of momentum.  Without momentum, even a tiny obstacle can prevent you from moving forward.  With momentum, you'll navigate through problems and barely even notice them.

Every member of the team has a responsibility to understand momentum, and understand how their words and actions affect the momentum of the team.  Your goal should be to keep the train at 55 and sustain the momentum!
