*The book, Good to Great, illustrates how a company is like a heavy flywheel.  Getting it to first move, then accelerate and maintain momentum is the goal.  The cumulative "flywheel effect" of each step and push upon the last in a constant direction - moves it faster and faster - until breakthrough is achieved and takes the company from "good to great"!
