mastered to be put into practice. a discipline is a developmental path for acquiring certain skills or competencies. as with any discipline, from playing piano to electrical engineering, some people have an innate gift, but anyone can develop proficiency through practice.

评注：discipline 在这里的用法，大概最接近的是“学问”或“学科”。locALhOSt上面说道：“一门学问是一个拓展的途径，从中获得实在的技巧与资历”，这是从一种“动态”的角度去看待它，非常具启发性。

不论古今中外，很多人都发出过如 peter senge 一般的呼唤：
“你认识越多，便越醒觉自己的

无知！”

to practice a discipline is to be a lifelong learner. you "never arrive"; you spend your life mastering disciplines. you can never say, "we are a learning organization," any more than you can say "i an an enlightened person." the more you learn, the more acutely aware you become of your ignoranc. thus, a corporation cannot be "excellent" in the sense of having arrived at a permanent excellence; it is always in the state of practicing the disciplines of learning of becoming better or worse.

practicing a discipline is different from emulating "a model". all too often, new management innovations are described in terms of the "best practices" of so-called leading firms. while interesting, i believe such descriptions can often do more harm than good, leading to piecemeal copying and playing
catch-up. i do not believe great organizations have ever been built by trying to emulate another, any more than individual greatness is achieved by trying to copy another "great person".

mastery might suggest gaining dominance over people or things. but mastery can also mean a special level of proficiency. a master craftsman doesn't dominate pottery or weaving. people with a high level of personal mastery are able to consistently realize the results that matter most deeply to them - in effect, they approach their life as an artist would approach a work of art. they do that by becoming committed to their own lifelong learning.

personal mastery is the discipline of continually clarifying and deepening our personal vision, of focusing our energies, of developing patience, and of seeing reality objectively.
as such, it is an esse
