The method (tactic) is not just unigue to Genghis Khan, Attilla used it a thousand years earlier while operating in western Asia. Dividing your enemy simply causes the following:
1. By dividing him up it causes him to lose command (control) of the second half of the unit. Who's going to all of a sudden command the portion that the commander's not positioned with?
2. By division, the divided unit has to "re-organize" (chain of command, mission (objective), etc.).
3. One & Two above create confusion.
Simple tactic. Not new.

It rose from the fact that Genghis Khan (aka Temujin) began taking control of few Mongolian herders, then many more, then forming an army large enough to conquer the entirety of Mongolia. Then expanding into the territories of the Indigenous Siberian tribes, forcing them to accept Genghis Khan as their sovereign. Then Genghis Khan expanded his influence to the Jurchens in Manchuria. Then the Mongol Empire expanded to conquer much of Northern China and then expand west-wards towards Central Asia. Then the Mongols marched straight into Iran/Persia and Afghanistan/Bactria not without committing widespread genocide. When Ogedei took over as the Khan/Khagan, the Mongols conquered Korea, Russia, Hungary, the Caucasus, Romania and Poland. After Ogedei Khan's death, the Mongol Empire started splitting but the successor states such as the Ilkhanates, Golden Horde and Yuan Dynasty and Chagatai Khanate were all significantly powerful and continued to expand Genghis' legacy.
