Which metric would you use to measure success?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Success is a deeply personal and multifaceted concept, varying significantly
from one individual to another. For me, success encompasses a harmonious balance
between personal fulfillment, professional achievement, and meaningful
relationships. It means pursuing passions and interests with dedication,
achieving set goals, and continually growing both intellectually and
emotionally. Professional success is about contributing positively to my field,
feeling a sense of accomplishment in my work, and continuously learning and
evolving.

On a personal level, success involves maintaining strong, supportive
relationships with family and friends, ensuring a healthy work-life balance, and
cultivating a sense of inner peace and happiness. It also includes giving back
to the community and making a positive impact on others' lives, whether through
volunteer work, mentorship, or simply being a kind and empathetic person.

Ultimately, success is not a static destination but a dynamic journey. It
involves resilience, adaptability, and the ability to find joy and meaning in
both achievements and setbacks. Success, therefore, is about living a life
aligned with my values, aspirations, and the pursuit of overall well-being.

Success is achieving personal fulfillment and reaching goals that align with
one's values. It's not solely measured by external recognition or material
wealth, but by inner satisfaction and growth. It encompasses overcoming
challenges, making a positive impact, and finding happiness in one's endeavors.
Success is deeply subjective, varying from person to person, but ultimately
entails a sense of fulfillment and purpose in life.

You define a metric before any experiment and set a detectable change to be
called as success. This detectable change can be set based on ROI, internal
stakeholder discussion, Effort vs improvement

Success could be measured in multiple different factors. An engineer or a
resource would be performing very well in the team, stupendous technically but
their relationship with the team should also be desirable. They should be open
to collaborate, have good relationship, trust with the team, help cross
functional team for collaborating with multiple business teams. Should be able
to understand the problem providing right solution at right time, mentoring
others in the team and always posses the ability to communicate with at most
clarity. 
All of this is a 360 degree feedback that one could be considered successful
working in an organisation.

Success could be measured in multiple ways, it depends on the goal, for example
if I have team member who wants to move to next level and shows interest, I will
work with him or her to set goals, like what he needs to do in the next 6 months
or 1 year in order for me to help him move to the next level, once all that is
done and this guys moves to next level I would consider that as success
Another way is that if i have set up a goal to increase dev velocity by 20% and
then will create a road map with some milestone to measure where we are, if I am
hitting those goals obviously thats a success, but lets say we have not been
able to hit the goal but we learnt few things out of it and have changed our
strategy, that is again success

For me, success is not just about money or titles. It’s about moving forward on
goals that actually matter to me, keeping a balance between work and personal
life, and creating something that has a positive impact, even if it’s small.

It also means never stopping learning and improving, so I don’t get stuck in the
same place. In short, success is living the life I choose, not just the one I
ended up with by default.

הצלחה מבחינתי היא עמידה ביעדים שהוגדרו. הגדרת יעדים זה אחד החלקים המשמעותיים של
כל משימה או מוצר חדש. הם נגזרת של יעדי הארגון והאסטרטגיה שהוגדרה. 
לאחר תהליך מלא של מחקרי משתמשים, מחקר שוק ובדיקות דאטה פנימיות, הייתי מצפה
שהיעדים שהגדתי יהיו מאתגרים אך ברי השגה באמצעות הגדרת צעדים לעמידה באותה יעדים.
במידה וכל התהליך בוצע בצורה מקצועית ויסודית והיעדים הוגדרו נכון, עמידה בהם תחשב
כהצלחה שכן זה אומר שהצלחנו לייתר אימפקט אמיתי ללקוחות / שותפים שלנו ולהזיז את
המחוג.
