You seem to have a New Age definition of what discipline is. There is no such thing as an "inherit discipline".

A marine, doctor, rock star, sanitation worker, train operator, and professional athlete are all going to have drastically different things they consider good discipline.

If I have a problem responding to text messages in a timely manner, I can improve my personal discipline by introducing a new habit to take 5 minutes before I go to bed to reply to every message. If I have a problem with my weight I can start going to the gym and change what I eat, discipling myself to take more care of my body. If I have a problem finishing projects, I can discipline myself to set realistic goals and expectations of what "complete" means so I can feel more confident ending things.

Changing behavior to achieve a goal (whether it's self-imposed or from your boss) is by its very nature achieved through discipline.
