Solomon and the Law of the Big Mo
LEADERSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Often the only difference between winning and losing is momentum.
LEADERSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Often the only difference between winning and losing is momentum.
When it comes to achievement, momentum is a leader’s best friend. That’s the Law of the Big Mo.
FOUR KINDS OF KINGS
1. SAUL LACKED MOMENTUM
Two tasks for a leader are harder than any other he will ever have to perform. The first is getting a stalled (or backward-moving) organization to start moving forward. The other difficult task for a leader is changing an organization’s direction. Saul was not equal to the task. Because of his weak character, his selfishness, and his improper motives, he was incapable of creating momentum.

2. DAVID CREATED MOMENTUM
David, on the other hand, was a momentum maker. Even before he became king, he had a knack for creating momentum—beginning with his defeat of Goliath.

3. SOLOMON BUILT MOMENTUM
Although Solomon possessed both wealth and wisdom as he began his reign as king, his best friend was the momentum his father, David, had created during his reign. Solomon took a good kingdom, and he turned it into a great kingdom. Solomon took the momentum his father had given him and created the most powerful and prosperous nation in the world. No one had ever seen anything like it again.

4. REHOBOAM STOPPED MOMENTUM
Everything that Solomon achieved over the course of his forty-year reign, his son Rehoboam destroyed in a matter of days. Rehoboam became the greatest momentum breaker in the history of the Hebrews. No matter where you are as a leader—momentum can make or break your organization.
