Discipline isn’t about willpower. It’s about trade-offs.
In this episode of Little Moves, Big Careers, Caroline chats with Dr. Keith Dorsey about the habits that quietly shape extraordinary careers - from martial arts at six years old, to the US Air Force, to leading major corporate turnarounds and serving on boards.
They explore:
- Why discipline is a muscle; not a personality trait
- The leadership mistake that even high performers make
- What separates management from governance
- Why most people think about board roles too late
- How curiosity and reflection create long-term momentum
If you’ve ever wondered how to move from doing the work… to influencing the direction of the work - this conversation is for you.
New episodes are released every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings.
