Fanatic Discipline
July 10, 2012
What people say, what people do, and what they say they do are entirely different things.
-Margaret Mead
In his article "Three Leadership Skills that Count" published in Harvard Business Review (October 20, 2011), Morten Hansen listed "fanatic discipline" as one of the skills needed by leaders in an uncertain climate.  He explained...

"Discipline can mean many things -- working hard, following rules, being obedient, and so on.  We mean something else:  The best-performing leaders ... exhibit discipline as consistency of action -- consistency with values, long-term goals, and performance standards; consistency of method; and consistency over time.  It involves rejecting conventional wisdom, hype, and the madness of crowds -- essentially being a nonconformist."
