TRIPLE III TIME: Organizational & Personal MOMENTUM

Most of the time when you hear the word momentum used it is somehow connected with sports.  Whether it is an announcer highlighting when a basketball team goes on a 18-to-2 scoring run over its competition…or when a boxer wins a series of rounds and truly has his or her opponent “on-the-ropes”! But this TRIPLE III TIME message will stress that momentum is also something felt and experienced in the fields of organizational and personal development.

During my Director years I used to refer to momentum as the “Whatever I touch turns to gold” moments.  For example, there were times when we were lucky enough to win a special grant…that we simultaneously (or soon after) sought and won another.  Likewise, there were many situations that as we introduced a new, innovative approach in our world-of-work, our creative initiative often paved the way to one or two other fun, cool opportunities.  In hindsight, at no time did I/our organization think about the developmental MOMENTUM our action brought forth.  Rather our mindset was that these were just “the right things to do”.

BOTTOMLINE:  Do not ever underestimate the existence and benefit of Organizational & Personal MOMENTUM.  It begins with encouraging and building on a positive, progressive action…no matter how big or small.  Then the “let’s do more” attitude/approach becomes instantly contagious.  The result is a drive to preserve that “whatever I touch will turn to gold” MOMENTUM that is felt by you, your co-workers and your organization.
