It is an unfortunate reality of the business / industrial world where we celebrate the person and people who respond to incident, take charge and lead an organization through the ordeal and to the other side instead of the people who diligently work hard and prevent the incident from happening in the first place.  Without any malice towards firefighters themselves (i.e. the courageous first responders that we rely upon) but this is the difference between fire fighting and fire prevention.  We tend to venerate the fire fighter in the business world and and while we don't excoriate the fire preventer, we do something even worse, we tend to ignore their very existence.  We obviously have this backwards and need to spend more time recognizing and replicating the leadership style, systems and processes of those that run a "safe and boring" operation.  These are the leaders that understand their business very well and through the rigorous application of disciplined processes prevent the metaphorical (and real) fires from happening in their business.  Organizations and the senior leaders of these organizations need to do a better job of those that run "safe and boring" businesses and investigate more deeply the root causes of of the fires in the businesses that have them.  I think people may be surprised by some leadership differences that exists when this comparison is done deeply and objectively.

Great leaders always have self-discipline without exception.  John C. Maxwell

Discipline is paramount to ultimate success and victory for any leader and any team.  Jocko Willink

The undisciplined are slaves to moods, appetites, and passions.  Stephen Covey.
