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

4. 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)

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. AGE & P2RL

9. 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

10. 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 frozen
 Performance : Still Continuing
 Relationship : Formation stage

11. 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 : Frozen
 Performance : Already Established
 Relationship : Needs development

12. 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 : Frozen
 Performance : Already Established
 Relationship : Keeps on developing
