Success is something that everyone in any career field would like to achieve. Success may mean different things to different people.
Here are some perspectives:
- Success is achieved when your team’s efforts not only enrich the entire ecosystem around you, but also unlock its full potential, embodying Einstein’s belief that we should strive to be people of value rather than mere seekers of success.
Ron Walker, U.S. Leader, Managed Services at KPMG
- I think we can agree success is measured differently by each of us. I think a value-add will be to review/summarize the definitions that organizations use to define success. What is it 12 months after a person joins that shows they were successful? Also, if you only measure the results vis-à-vis the job description, it negates 100% of the cultural aspects of an org. In other words, a person that achieves 100% (or more) of objective goals but is an asshole to his colleagues would not be successful, in the eyes of many.
Greg Meyers, Managing Director, Concinnity Talent
- It’s an easy path to try and measure success by the numbers, but when asked personally I think of happiness but also my impact on others. When I am asked about my biggest success at work, it is always the people and who have I helped develop and grow. That is my professional legacy, and the measure of success. On the personal side, I revert back to happiness and creating memories not only for yourself but for the loved ones you surround yourself with. Something I have to keep reminding myself of is that the journey can be successful, not just the destination.
