All companies have a culture, some companies have discipline, but few companies have a culture of discipline. When you have disciplined people, you don't need hierarchy. When you have disciplined thought, you don't need bureaucracy. When you have disciplined action, you don' t need excessive controls. When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great performance.

The signature of mediocrity is chronic inconsistency.

Discipline is consistency of action.

Whether you prevail or fail depends more on what you do to yourself than on what the world does to you.

In a world of constant change, the fundamentals are more important than ever.

Good is the enemy of great.. The vast majority of good companies remain just that - good, but not great.

Discipline should amplify creativity rather than stifle it.
