In the rapidly evolving realm of leadership, two forces often vie for dominance: self-discipline and self-motivation. These seemingly conflicting concepts have been the subject of numerous discussions, debates, and writings by professionals across industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you turn to the world’s information gateway, Google, and search “self-discipline vs. self-motivation,” many polarized opinions emerge. Sanchit Raina<\/a>, in his enlightening piece<\/a>, espouses the belief that discipline should be the cornerstone of your goal-setting, overshadowing mere motivation. Meanwhile, on the vast professional network LinkedIn, Hamza Khan asserts through his aptly titled article<\/a>, “Discipline will take you to places where motivation can’t,” echoing the sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Motivation is what will give you the start and then self discipline alone will be responsible for keeping you going.<\/p>\nSanchit Raina<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Yet, a burgeoning camp believes neither discipline nor motivation alone suffices. Tamara Franklin,<\/a> in a Hubspot piece<\/a>, argues that a synergy between self-motivation and self-discipline is pivotal. It’s not about choosing one over the other but rather integrating both for maximum efficacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s important to tap into both discipline and motivation as an employer or an employee. <\/p>\nTamara Franklin<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Leaders, it’s not uncommon for our days to blur into a routine, with habits acting as the autopilot guiding our actions. While discipline is undeniably instrumental in cultivating and maintaining these habits, it’s incomplete without understanding your “why”. This “why” is your raison d’\u00eatre – your driving force. Absent a potent “why,” even the most disciplined leader might find themselves floundering, analogous to a car empty of fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leadership, especially in the intricate landscape of modern organizations, demands more than just a disciplined regimen. Authentic self-motivation, which arises from within and remains untouched by fleeting external accolades, is vital. This motivation becomes the lifeblood of collective success in any organizational setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
