Few of us are naturally-born athletes. In fact, some of us make better fans than athletes, yet we all make up the team. Regardless of your athletic ability, practicing is critical to the game. Without consistent practice and hard work, we may never realize our goals. To be a part of a team means that we create a discipline of practice and implement what we learn come game time. There is nothing for the quarterback to do if the center doesn't hike the ball and the offensive line doesn't block.
In this blog, Dan Cathy, President and COO of Chick-fil-A, shares what he calls the four disciplines. Effective leaders have a consistent level of performance. Dan believes consistency comes from discipline of practice.
Key Disciplines
Mental - Are you the student you need to be?
- TIP: Book time in your calendar to visit with a mentor and reflect.
Physical - Take care of yourself.
- TIP: Get good sleep, exercise and eat well.
Wildland Fire Leadership Challenge - Digging a Little Deeper
