One of the very strong points that authors Jim Collins and Morten T. Hansen make in their recent book Great By Choice is that discipline in any business endeavor or any activity for that matter is critical to success. They refer to it as fanatical discipline but they mean it in a very positive way.
I have learned that paying attention to every detail is extremely important to making a business successful and profitable. Striving to win in small increments helps to ensure large and long-term gains.
It is very easy to be side tracked away from discipline because of complacency, resting on success, or just losing focus. It is probably easier to stay disciplined than it is to get it back.
I have only read about the first third of this new book Great By Choice but I have learned a great deal already. It is at least the equal to their previous best business book ever - Good to Great.
