The Measure of Success

The measure of success of a leader (be it political or business) is that person's legacy (financial, crime statistics, general standard of living, wars being waged etc), and the nature of the leader/system that follows.

Success

An individual's success, relative to those around him/her, is dependent not just on the actions of that individual but on those around him/her.

Those who have achieved success should be mindful that it is therefore partly dependent on those around them.

Challenging Deadlines

Businesses stand a better chance of success when management and staff are set challenging deadlines and tasks, which push them to find the best within themselves.

People

The best laid plans, and well thought through strategies, will often "come a cropper" as a result of the one unpredictable element essential to all of them...people.

Were it to become possible to remove people from a plan, then you would be assured of success.

Binge Drinking

Britain is currently going through a period of self examination in respect of its problems with binge drinking, and drunken anti social behaviour.

The solution is simple, those successfully prosecuted for anti social drunken behaviour should be banned from being served alcohol in pubs and clubs.

The ban would be enforced by the application of a clearly visible tattoo, in place for a period determined by the courts, on the forehead of the offender stating:

"I am a drunken yob"

Bars and pubs that serve alcohol to people with these tattoos, would have their licences revoked.
