Quotes to ponder:
"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment." - Jim Rohn
"In a perfect world, everyone on the team would automatically grasp the team goals, understand instinctively why they mattered, and how to move forward with them both as individuals and as a team."
"In the real world, sometimes a team member has to quietly take charge, pull things together, and move the team forward in spite of itself."
