No team succeeds without discipline. I am talking primarily about self-discipline. Indeed, it is the only discipline worth talking about. Michael Jordan was blessed by the Almighty with a ton of talent. He could jump, change directions, and shoot the basketball better than most any other player. His dunks were spectacular. As a player at UNC and with the Chicago Bulls, his accomplishments are legendary. He is recognized worldwide as a winner. But did you know that the most legendary aspect of Michael Jordan's character are his tremendous work ethic, self discipline, and intensity. Sure, he was born with tremendous physical gifts, but his intensity and self discipline made him great. Only by working hard to make himself a better player was he able to achieve greatness.
Disciplined team players possess;
- Disciplined thinking. Keeping your mind active, accepting mental challenges, and think about right things.
- Disciplined emotions. Make sure that the emotions of the moment don't prevent you from doing what you need to or allow you to do things you shouldn't.
- Disciplined actions. Everything you do counts. Make sure each action is well founded and in the right spirit.
To become a better team player;
- Strengthen work habits. Do the right thing at the right time for the right reasons.
- Take on challenges. It will strengthen your mind and your resolve.
- Tame your tongue. Speak truth in kindness. I never regretted anything I DIDN'T say.
Great teams need disciplined team members.
