The end result is all that matters. Are they success or not?

  You can be successful in some ways and fail in others. Anthony Bourdain was the celebrity chef's celebrity chef and died by suicide. Howard Hughes revolutionized aviation and went crazy at the end of his life.

    "You can be successful in some ways and fail in others." You mention things that are not successful in one's personal life. When it comes to your boss, the only success that matters is in terms of the business.

      A business can appear to be successful and then turn out to be a mirage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Lay https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Lay certainly or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Welch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Welch arguably) or be successful for a while and make an series of own goals (Tesla made electric cars mainstream, but decided to leave the mass market to BYD and introduce the marginally successful cybertruck and then had its market collapse because politics turned liberal consumers, who wanted electric vehicles, against it without selling electric cars to conservatives)
