Building Momentum: short-term wins, the J-curve, and the Big Mo

Maxwell's published seventeenth Irrefutable Law: "Leaders understand that activity is not necessarily accomplishment." The published working frame: the 80/20 rule applied to leadership — 20% of the work produces 80% of the result; the leader's job is to identify which 20% and put it first. Applied to change leadership: many initiatives are activity (they fill the calendar); few are accomplishment (they move the flywheel). The discipline is to do less, focused on the right less.
