they go to them in strategic moments to revitalize a team, reaffirm a particular objective, or restate desired outcomes while maintaining the group\u2019s ability and responsibility to accomplish those goals.<\/p>\n<p>This amazing element in any organizational environment is also one that requires attention to avoid being overwhelmed by too much of any of its forms.\u00a0 While swift and specific actions are appropriate to resolve lower morale, it is equally important to ensure that momentum in significantly large forms that are in transition are also facilitated to avoid a culture of chaos to develop.\u00a0 And as for organizations whose successes are plentiful and sustained, leaders know well that maintaining a clear focus upon the purpose of the group and the mission of the organization is the best way to prevent an aura of over-confidence\u2014also known as\u00a0<i>arrogance<\/i>\u2014from distracting the team.<\/p>\n<p>Leaders contribute to these environments by choosing to remain focused upon the core ingredient of momentum\u2014the individual.\u00a0 While groups and organizations are influenced greatly by momentum, it is the organization that maintains a high value upon learning within its mission who remains best prepared and resourced for sustained success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is an intriguing co-existence of frequencies in all organizations that leaders are quite familiar with:\u00a0 That individuals typically are driven by motivation, while organizations (or substantial groups within them) predominantly run on morale.\u00a0 Leaders&#8211;and managers&#8211;often have powerful relationships to these norms.
