John Wooden's 2nd tier

Discipline yourself and others won't have to.

4 traits that involve control and direction of your mental faculties.

1. Self-control: Essential for consistency in leadership. Control of emotions, resolve to resist the easy choice and temptation. Discipline when necessary but hold no grudges. Self-control of little things leads to control of bigger things. Lead by example (seems like we can't get away from that one regardless of how hard we try ;) ).
2. Alertness: "It's what you learn after you know it all that counts." The ability to constantly observe, absorb, and learn from what's going on around you. Constantly be awake, alive, and alert to evaluating yourself and improving. Most of what we learn comes from others.
3. Initiative: Don't live in fear of making a mistake. "The team that makes the most mistakes usually wins." Don't make sloppy careless mistakes but mistakes that result from assertive action based on proper assessment of risk. Failure to act is often the greatest failure of all.
4. Intentness: "The one who once most wisely said 'Be sure you're right, then go ahead' might well have added this to it 'Be sure you are wrong before you quit'! Persistence over the long term will always result in more success than short little energy bursts.
