Leadership Keys to Success: Character & Momentum

We took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Deuteronomy 3:4

In Deuteronomy chapters 3 – 5, we see two ingredients for a series of masterful military victories. One was the character of the leadership. The second was Leadership Principle of Momentum: once the team starts winning, nothing seems too big a barrier to additional success.

To ensure this new generation entered the Promised Land with solid moral guidelines, Moses repeats the commands he gave earlier in Exodus chapter 20. Former General Norman Schwarzkopf put it this way: “Leadership is a potent combination of character and strategy. But if you must be without one, be without strategy.”

In addition, momentum is a leader’s best friend. After defeating he Amorites, the Israelites came to Bashan. God told them to attack. Having tasted military victory already, they didn’t hesitate, and once again they triumphed. This led to the defeat of 60 cities in the region. Success breeds success.
