Often it's not even curiosity, it's wanting to solve a problem instead of "doing work" at your "assigned role".

If you want to actually improve something on your organization, you'll have to solve lots and lots of problems that nobody owns. If you insist, well, congratulations, you are now a generalist.

I'm pretty sure what the GP is calling "discipline" is an euphemism for "passive obedience".

If someone is writing me a check to work an "assigned role" then by God that's what I'm doing.

Realizing that to get further in your career that you need to buckle down and be very good a specific thing is "passive obedience"?
