Collaboration and momentum

Project momentum is a strange and wonderful thing. That moment when you start getting disproportionate reward for your effort. Similar I suppose to what Jim Collins referred to in Good to Great as the flywheel effect.

Collaboration requires momentum. It insists that the output of the team be greater than the input of the individual team-members. Otherwise, why collaborate at all? A lot of this year's big projects will take shape in the next month, especially the performance-based ones.

Exciting times.
