Many times we keep wandering what could be the benchmark of success!The answer lies into delivering VALUE in whatever part you been playing.
No matter it may be business or job or any other consulting services – as long as you been delivering value in the chain- YOU ARE RELEVANT. Or you can consider yourself relevant part in the success chain. Now the question arises how this value be measured? If at all!
Answer is many complex tools we may find them in the market but the plain and simple tool to gauge yourself for the work which you been doing is creating any substantial value or not, is the productive change it is bringing to all stakeholders. It is that delta which counts…
SO keep focus on delivering value in whatever task been assigned to you OR whatever initiatives you take yourself. "Kaam naye nahin hote bus kaamyab logo ke kaam karne ke tarike alagh hote hai"….Successful people have unique ways of doing same old things…which make them unique so is the success to them. I have never come across anyone, during my professional career of more than 20 years , any successful person who is not focused on value creation. SO develop a habit of creating value always in whatever tasks you been doing. IN this process you become more relevant and more flexible!
These Value Creation, Uniqueness, Relevance, Flexibility are the basic ingredients of success.
IN the end I would like to add few lines by The Greatest Inspirational Author of Our Time – Sir Norman Vincent Peale -
“Consciously complete with only one person- yourself. Always try to get ahead of yourself, perfecting your skills to do better and even better.”
Keep creating VALUE, Keep adding VALUE and always focused on VALUE…

9 年Lalit, nice post of quality. Agree on the four dimensions you cite (i.e., time, quality, scope, & cost). Backing up a step, though, what separates good from great, or hit or miss, is the ability to directly connect to what customers want. What ‘s valuable to the CUSTOMER is the target we want to hit. Too often product developers come up with ideas in a vacuum that reflect their personal thinking / biases, versus that of the customers. Understanding the customers' point of view provides a basis from which to define the scope of what it is we're producing. To be truly valuable, we should aim for the idea to be creative (novel, unique), impactful (worth using), and distinctive (not a copycat or knock-off). To your point, we should also invest enough time, quality control, scope, & cost to produce a product that works and delights customers.
