The ability to mete out corrective discipline, when it is needed, is an essential trait of all true leaders. But those who dispense punishment must, above all, be honest -- with others, and with themselves. Honesty is the hallmark of the strong and self-confident. The successful person masters the art of honesty much as a swordsman masters fencing. When lies, delusions and game-playing are getting in the way of teamwork, the swift sword of honest action, perhaps even punishment, must be wielded to protect one's integrity and values. Decisiveness at such a time brings good fortune.
