Why Financial Success should Not be the only Metric

Why Financial Success should Not be the only Metric

Our overarching objective is to create a fulfilling, purposeful and peaceful life. That's our primary objective.

Our goal is to build a successful organization, but before we do that, we must clearly define the term "success". If you define success to only mean financial success, or building a large organization, or a market leader, or growing as quickly as possible, etc., then your mind will get to work to achieve that goal for you and your actions will be determined by only that goal.

However, if you were to define the goal differently, if you define the problem statement differently, then the same mind will now get to work to achieve this new objective.

So let us define "success" appropriately. Our overarching goal is not to create a successful organization, or to cure cancer, or to reduce CO2 or to go to the Moon. Our overarching objective is to create a fulfilling, purposeful and peaceful life. That's our primary objective. Everything else that we do in our life must flow from that.

The five layers of the ADIOS framework are Values, Non Financial Vision, Culture, OKRs and Compensation. You start with the first layer - Values - and define the core guiding principles for the organization.

Hope is not a strategy. Training is.
