Discipline & Energy

When talking about leadership skills or traits for success, I notice that the above two are rarely mentioned, though, in my book, they are to be rated right on top.

It is relatively easy to think of a good plan or a strategy. It is easy to set good company goals or personal goals. That also seem to be the more ‘glamorous’ work.

Following that, the key to success is to spend 80%+ of the time to get things done.  Have the discipline and energy to take action all the time, for a long time.

Analyse people whom you admire for their achievements. I am willing to bet with you, in 99% of the cases discipline & energy is a key trait to their success
