Buildup and breakthrough (the flywheel)

How lasting transformation accumulates momentum.

Jim Collins's framework, from Good to Great, pp. 177 to 198.

Push in a consistent direction
Each turn builds on the work done before.
Show tangible results
Let people see accomplishments and extrapolate.
Hit breakthrough
Momentum starts working in your favour and the goal sets itself.
Avoid the doom loop
Do not stop, change course and relaunch with a new programme.

From chapter: Chapter 8 - The Flywheel and The Doom Loop, pp. 177–198
