Success Parameters Success of an individual depends on:

– Perception

– Performance

– Relationship

– Luck

Success = P*P*R*L For a typical calculation, let us consider:

– P=0.8 P=1.0 R=0.5 L= 1.0

S=0.8*1.0*0.5*1.0=0.40

How different parameters influence the success of the individual???

PERCEPTION– Perception is a phenomenon which is made by

others. Generally once perception is formed, it is difficult to improve upon it whether it is good or bad.

– Generally there is parallax between perception made by others and that made by oneself.

– It is my observation that perception hits hard in the

mind of an individual.

– Total Perception (TP) = Individual Perception (IP) + Environmental Perception (EP)

PERFORMANCE– This is the most important aspect of the

professional life of anyone.

– Performance is not limited to the disposal of assigned work but also other attributes like leadership, decision making, relationship with peer group, problem resolving attitude etc.

– It is clear and simple that one has to perform,

and perception and relationship supports it.

RELATIONSHIP– There are three types of relationships

– Barter Relationship: Relationship is sustained as long as the barter between two individuals continues. There is no emotion involved in this case.

– Fixed Deposit Relationship: You maintain it just to

take support in case of need. It is like an insurance which is offered to someone without payment of premium.

– Emotional Relationship: The type of relationship is

of a pure form. It is based on emotions.. In this, one likes to use himself for the welfare of the other to the fullest extent.

LUCK– If some event is going to take place, it would take place

as it is destined to. Fate or destiny is the conspiracy of forces to make the thing happen.

– So, if one is destined to be successful then perception,

performance and relationship is going to be favourable.

– This does not mean that we should depend only on perception, performance or relationships for success.

– Requisite effort has to be put in for optimal gain from

these factors.

AGE & P2RL


Phase - I: From 23 to 35 years

– First three years are very important for any individual after joining a job as he is new to corporate life.

– This is the point when Perception about him is being formed by others or his environment.

– It this is the stage where perception is formed along

with professional capabilities.

– Conclusively,Perception : Formation stage Performance : Formation stage Relationship : not very important

Phase-II: 35 to 45 years

– This is the phase, when perception formation has reached a plateau and very little improvement is perceived by others.

– Its the time when the relationship with internal as well as external environment is blossoming.

– Selection of the right person with whom the relationship is to be maintained, requires dexterity.

– Conclusively:Perception : Almost frozenPerformance : Still Continuing Relationship : Formation stage

Phase-III: 45 to 55 years– The environment is able to understand about the individual

and the process of perception is almost frozen. – By this time one has developed enough maturity, become

professionally sound as well have achieved financial comfort.

– Relationships become important and run parallel to perception and professional capabilities.

– From this point onwards, relationship with your superiors,

peers even with sub-ordinates counts.

– Conclusively:Perception : FrozenPerformance : Already Established Relationship : Needs development

Phase-IV: 55 years and above– Only minimal improvement can be made as by this

time the mental conditioning has matured. Very little improvement is expected as most individuals reach a mental plateau condition by this stage.

– However, relationships start giving dividend as we

grow older.

– Relationships matter because competency levels of all the competitors are almost the same, so selection is to be done based on strength of relationships.

– Conclusively:

Perception : FrozenPerformance : Already Established Relationship : Keeps on developing
