Attentiveness is critical for not just good managers and leaders but all men and women of good character.
Lack of attentiveness is fast becoming commonplace.
We seem to be living in constant state of distraction.

A key ingredient for success in management, sport and life is mental toughness.
Almost everything else is secondary.
By mental toughness or discipline, I refer to the ability to do the right things, do things right and at the appropriate time - whether we feel like it or not.
