OSU Management
Momentum Phase
The bandwagon effect will grow
because of the addition people and resources
that will feed into the synergistic systems.
As this gathering force is focused,
it will readily be recognized as momentum.
As it is used to fulfill Our Stewardship University’s purposes and mission
it will be channeled into expressions that are healthy and helpful.
This mighty force will be aimed at the targets of
surviving, thriving, improving, and reproducing.
(Note that Reproduce is the next phase.)
Those associated with
Our Stewardship University will be treated as responsible adults. They will be
gently encouraged to join us in fulfilling our mission
of cooperatively
harnessing technology for educational purposes.
Also they will be
invited to use the products and services of OSU
for personal and
professional growth.
Therefore we can
confidently believe and expect today
that there will
surely be a strong presence of momentum.
During this phase,
the leadership of OSU will be addressing issues like:
balance, harmony,
integrity, congruence, fairness, etc.
Such delicate matters
will have short-term and long-term effects.
We know that success
breeds success.
So, gaining and
maintaining success will grow easier with success.
But other factors
will come into play.
IF top quality people
have been enrolled, well trained and effectively integrated, and
IF there is great
communication throughout the organization, and
IF the costs and
prices have been kept profit oriented;
THEN great and
increasing success in assured (in the short term) and
THEN awesome and
mighty power will become available for use and/or abuse. (because the many
energies are blended into a massive and dynamic matrix).
With this momentum,
it is possible to mess up in a big way.
IF attention is not
paid to: cash flow, the bottom line, people, product quality,
customer service,
ethics, legal matters, etc.
THEN disaster could
occur suddenly and/or slowly OR
THEN the energies can
become scattered, self-canceling, contaminated, diluted, etc.
When momentum is
achieved and maintained,
it will likely be
like both riding a tiger and
steering an ocean
going ship.
(very exciting while
very risky).
That is why checks
and balances must be designed into the systems and
they must be used!
Also the purposeful
targets mentioned in the summary
need to be kept in
sight (surviving, thriving, improving, and reproducing)
