What
The five disciplines are the practice part of the RedShift change model. You can do them on your own or with facilitation. Discipline puts the learning into action in the day-to-day and often nitty-gritty problem solving and decision making. What it means is that you respond differently to what comes up, in your personal and/or business life. When those response are repeated they become habits. When that happens you're not just theorizing change, your living up to it.
Why
- Life is multi-dimensional. You have things you're trying to achieve in one or more domains and the pace of change is continually accelerating. How do you know what to say "yes" or "no" to when everything is a moving target?
- Change starts out feeling great. You're on a roll, imagining all the great results you'll get if you set the right goals and follow the plans, strategies and roadmap. When you're expectations aren't met you feel as bad as, or worse than, when you started. How do you stick with it?
- Change is an investment. You feel constrained by what you're lacking - time, money, people, skills, talent, title, experience etc. How can you move forward when you can barely survive day-to-day?

“Taming the bull is the story of discipline. One has to take the lead and establish a regular and steady practice. That is, at least, the traditional reading of this image. I would like to come forward with something very different: taming the bull can also be giving a specific direction to sitting, having goals and aims, and therefore we loose the original freedom of practice trying to make it fit our plans.”
