Measure success not by what a man achieves, but by how he achieves it.
Lawrence O Richards
In the world of business (and probably most spheres of life) it seems that the end trumps the process. Sure, we talk about celebrating failure and doing the right thing – but you are ultimately judged on the result. And those with the best results are the winners.
Now, that doesn’t mean how you got there won’t be discovered and evaluated; just look at all the downfall stories in books and on TV. Yet, despite the joy we take in seeing justice, the truth is that how you work may never be recognized. But it matters, as our true character is shown in those difficult times, when we choose the right way even when it might cost our success.
