I think para put it best. It's a balance between art and business. Designers HAVE to be a bit of "mere marketers" and also a bit of "tortured artist" in order to effectively communicate. It's a balancing act like para said, and when designers fall to one said, we fail.
To divide it between "Are you disciplined or are you not?" is missing the point by a looong shot. The real measure is effectiveness. This should be bloody apparent to anyone who has seen the rise of Doodles in illustrations, or Nopattern, or Hi-res. All highly undisciplined, but all highly effective.
