Everything that people do requires tools and processes for whatever they are doing to be effective. Tools and processes in the broadest sense apply to everything from birth, life cycle, and death. Everything is a process in motion. That motion can be subtle or still as in sleep, prayer, meditation. It can be fast or turbulent such as exercise, work deadlines, competitive sports. It can be somewhere in the middle of subtle and turbulent. Balance of tools and processes to create steady, equilibrium, smooth operations is often the desired result. However, it may take both subtle and turbulent work and effort to achieve such balance.
Organizations that are successful appear to have found the correct level of balance and steadiness. Proper balance allows them to exist, grow, deploy, re-deploy, or retreat. They appear to be capable of these actions without great disturbance or loss both in terms of people or physicality. The road to this stability is always preceded by intensity, great effort, and discipline. Discipline may be the most important characteristic. Disciplined development of tools and processes coupled with nobility may allow for vision that becomes innovation to happen.
One could argue that discipline is essential in the achievement of any goal or desired outcome. Think about it.
