A culture of discipline (IM 399)

All companies have a culture, some companies have a discipline, but very few companies have a culture of discipline. A culture of discipline includes disciplined people, disciplined thoughts, and a disciplined action. When you have disciplined people, you don't need positions and hierarchy. When you have disciplined thoughts, you don't need bureaucracy and when you have disciplined action, you don't need excessive controls. When you combine the culture of discipline with the ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great performance. This is one of the factor that will lead the companies towards greatness.
