"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment."
Jim Rohn
Discipline is a very important quality for leaders and managers. Quite often, good leaders have numerous interests and desires. The want to help everyone and solve every problem, both big and small. Discipline is needed to stay on track and make progress on the core tasks.
In his foreword to the biography** by Zack Greenburg, Steve Forbes compares Jay-Z to other business leaders such as Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates and their discipline. "Passion: the knack for imagining what doesn't exist; and the iron-willed self-discipline to make that come into existence." In his book Principle-Centered Leadership, Stephen Covey talks about how a good education should emphasize the development of self-discipline.
