It\u2019s no secret. Passion is a required trait for any leader.\u00a0<\/strong>But on its own, passion isn\u2019t enough.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Passion is certainly required to build a team, to implement change, and to drive towards a better future. But it will only get you out of the starting blocks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Effective leaders know that passion is only one part of a leader\u2019s one-two punch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For long-lasting impact to occur, a heavy dose of discipline must come along right after passion.<\/p>\n

Discipline is the ability to systematically and methodically push through obstacles. It\u2019s what enables a leader to channel all of that passion into a sustainable plan that delivers results.<\/p>\n

Together, passion and discipline create a formidable leadership combination.<\/p>\n

Here are 10\u00a0realities leaders know about the one-two punch of passion and discipline:<\/p>\n

Passion sees the vision. Discipline translates it into action.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Passion attracts a team. Discipline builds the team<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Passion makes good decisions. Discipline implements the decisions.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Passion establishes values. Discipline lives the values out.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Passion envisions a healthy culture. Discipline makes it happen.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Passion describes the goal. Discipline forms the strategy to reach the goal.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Passion creates priorities. Discipline executes the priorities.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Passion generates ideas. Discipline turns them into reality.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Passion challenges people to grow. Discipline helps them do it.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Passion drives innovation. Discipline drives implementation.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The point, of course, is not that one is more important than the other.<\/p>\n

Rather, passion and discipline are dependent on each other.<\/p>\n

But the reality is, passion gets more press. Passion is flashier. But without the discipline to translate all that passion into action, you\u2019re left with nothing more than hype.<\/p>\n

So by all means, be sure your leadership contains plenty of passion.<\/p>\n

Just be sure it\u2019s followed up by a heavy dose of discipline.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the one-two punch you\u2019ll need for long-lasting, high-impact results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
