The Thinking Behind the Tweet
Brian Tracy said, "Persistence is self-discipline in action."
I believe desired Actions are always preceded by desired Thoughts.
In order to achieve Goals we must first discipline our Thoughts then those disciplined Thoughts will govern our Actions.
The habit of self-discipline is an essential ingredient of success.

The Thinking Behind the Tweet
That's a Spirited Leaders' definition. Some say Ego is a flaw. For example, if I understand him accurately, Eckhart Tolle considers Ego to be a pain body that really provides no benefit. [And I have a great deal of respect for Eckhart Tolle.] I think Ego is a valuable piece of the human condition but it is only valuable when people self-monitor and self-regulate to make sure Ego stays within boundaries of moderation.

Strength = Innate Talent [as signalled by STRENGTHSFINDER Top 5 Talent Themes] + Opportunity [which leaders are obligated to provide to self and others] + Specialized Knowledge [of the details of the plan and the work processes…and about the people and the situations the people face] + Practised Skills [as Malcolm Gladwell teaches, think in terms of at least 10,000 hours to master the tasks that make up a business role]
Influence = the essence of Leadership
