Chapter 7 of John Maxwell's book 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player

The 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player By: John Maxwell
Chapter 7
Disciplined
Where there's a will, there's a win.
“What we do on some great occasion will probably depend on what we already are; and what we are will be the result of previous years of self-discipline”
-H.P. Liddon
“Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability.”
- Roy L. Smith
Discipline is doing what you really don’t want to do so that you can do what you really want to do.

Disciplined Thinking
Disciplined Emotions
People have just two choices when it comes to their emotions: they can master their emotions or be mastered by them.

Disciplined Actions
Parties who want milk should not seat themselves on a stool in the middle of the field and hope that the cow will back up to them.
-Albert Hubert

To become a more disciplined team player…
Strengthen your work habits
Discipline means doing the right things at the right time for the right reason.

Take on a challenge
Tame your tongue

Enthusiastic


“I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile”
-Walter Chrysler


“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson


People can succeed at almost anything for which they have enthusiasm

Take responsibility for their own enthusiasm
Positive people are positive because they choose to be

Act their way into feeling
Believe I what they do
Spend time with other enthusiastic people

"Enthusiasm is contagious. It’s difficult to remain neutral or indifferent I the presence of a positive thinker"
Dennis Waitley

To improve your enthusiasm…
Show a sense of urgency
Be willing to do more
Strive for excellence

The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today.
- Elbert Hubbard
