Points of the Principle

To steer a ship, it must first be moving forward. That illustrates the law of the Big

Momentum. Momentum is a powerful change agent.

Leaders Who Lived Out the Law

Public School teacher Jaime Escalente worked hard, and fought hard against

opposition and other negative factors to bring about a momentum of positive change

in his school. Through his leadership and the Big Mo, the school became one of the

top 3 inner schools in the entire United States.

“Only a leader can create momentum. Followers catch it. And managers are able to

continue it once it has begun.”
