And in the spirit of OP's article, what do you think makes you successful? What differentiates you from other people who are not successful?

  I enjoy what I do. I live humbly, and plan for the long game. I like helping others. It really is that simple.

    I bet you are a happier man than some billionaires we all know.
    • ChrisMarshallNY 4y ago
      In some cases, but I have known pretty happy billionaires. Being happy is being satisfied with what we have. If we have what we want, we tend to be happy.

    Most people would agree with you. It is very surprising when you manage to give ordinary people a voice what they actually articulate as fair and proper and successful. I remember being involved in running the set up for a major program (very early phase, pre funding but the program eventually burned £billions of investment and took 20k + folk to deliver - I had been long sidelined by then). We ran stakeholder workshops to create definitions of the mission and of success for the people who would be doing the hard yards. I brought representatives in from the field and from the lower management; their verdict on what the programme was for and who should get what was light years from the accepted C-suite wisdom. Our media parrots that money talks, and the monied classes fervently believe it, but that is still not the wisdom of people on the ground. But who cares about them, eh?
