While helpful, this does not guarantee generating the amount of momentum required for a project to achieve its desired outcomes. This episode introduces how to create a critical mass of energy to support project success. By identifying and managing a project’s supporters, fence-sitters and resistors each in special ways, momentum can be generated and sustained.
