Success has a price. That price is dedication to the task at hand through hard work. That price is being determined to do the best you can, win or lose. That price is applying the best of yourself to everything you do.
Paying attention to detail means demonstrating to your team, and yourself, that it is necessary to focus on the journey, not just today’s goal. Learning the right way to compete is vital to having the confidence to grow as a person and as a team member. The leader’s job is to create the perfect conditions for success by teaching techniques and strategy. Once that is accomplished your team can use their talents and their wits to grow and win.
Discipline is important all the time, but it takes on more importance when things go wrong. You cannot change what happens, but your discipline provides you with the tools to change your approach, your attitude, and/or your response. Discipline guides your ability to avoid complaining in troubled times and instead working with your team to figure out how to make things better.
