Attila the Hun is the inspiration for this week’s posts on Leadership in home internet businesses . He emphasized to his Chieftains (Leaders) the importance of motivation and discipline. Discipline is definitely something I thought would be outside my work from home career . However Wess Roberts the author of the book explains that maintaining morale and discipline is key to being a good Leader. His definitions of what constitute discipline intrigue me more so than those on motivation which I was familiar with.
These are the key things to consider about motivation and discipline in a direct sales team:
- Morale and discipline are central to the unity of the team
- The best test of morale is how well the team members bear up under difficult tasks
- Discipline is about teaching the correct way to do something as opposed to suppression
- Morale is the extent to which a team member will submit to the good of the team
- Leaders must work hard to establish and maintain morale and discipline
- Discipline allows for individuality
- Morale is based on pride in being a team member, discipline brings about morale
- Leaders plan for morale and discipline, they cause it to happen
- Team members are more likely to follow a Leader who is disciplined
- Lack of morale and discipline will spread like wildfire if you allow it to
- Morale and discipline are mainly what a Leader makes of it
- Good Leaders allow team members to test their discipline by setting tough goals
- Discipline should be set at a level appropriate to the type of business opportunity
