A simple but effective way to think about effective disciple is by picturing a hot stove. Both the stove and effective discipline share four characteristics.1. Advanced Warning - Like a red hot burner signals danger, it should be obvious to staff what behaviors will result in disciplinary action.
2. Immediacy - Touching a hot stove immediately results in getting burned. Effective discipline deals with negative behavior as quickly as possible.
3. Impartiality - Regardless of who you are, touching the hot stove has the same negative results. The same should be true of effective discipline.
4. Consistency - The hot burner on a stove delivers the same results time after time. Good discipline is also consistent time after time.
