Among those who are thought of as extremely disciplined, how many of them are easy for others to control? Among those who were praised for discipline in your school and work, how many of them are easy for others to control?

How easy was it to control Musashi? Bruce Lee? David Hackworth? Now what about your middle management? The overachievers at your school?
