Success is something that everyone in any career field would like to achieve. Success may mean different things to different people.
Success is defined by the level of performance that your organization is obtaining around you. Great leaders build organizations with diverse skillsets that can enhance the overall performance of the team. As a leader you should lead from the front guiding them with vision and culture that allow them to utilize their best talents to drive the organization to the next level of performance. This is done through their experiences and capabilities implementing that joint strategy and culture.
Michael McDaniel,
For me success has always been defined as reaching an agreed upon set of goals by collaborating with teammates and peers who share those goals in common.
Rich Kempter, Director of Finance and Business Operations at Kempter Holistic Dentistry and Preferred Sleep Solutions of the Carolinas
For business I have always measured success on how I help those connected to me be successful. Who I report to being. an individual or board, the people that report to myself and my peers. If what I am doing is reflecting progress and development of the echo-system around me, then I have no need to check on my success.
David Gai, COO Leadspace
If I were to try to try to summarize how I measure success I would say it is a consistent measure of an inconsistent target. The measure of success is making a difference. The target can vary by person though. On society. In the firm. On one person’s life. I think the reason why people ask the question about how to measure success is that variability.
