Why success is often pursued too one-sidedly

Many organizations equate success with financial indicators such as turnover and profit.

They lose sight of the fact that real, sustainable success depends on factors such as long-term satisfaction, employee commitment and added value for all stakeholders. This narrow view often leads to short-term successes being celebrated, but long-term motivation, innovative strength and even financial health being jeopardized.

Why financial success alone is not enough

What is the point of being financially successful if employee motivation drops, customer loyalty dwindles or you yourself are on the verge of burnout?

We would never act like this in private. Imagine if you lived your life based solely on your bank balance and ignored your physical and mental health. How long would you last?  People who look after themselves plan periods of relaxation and invest in their health – because they know that this is the basis for lasting success.

How to achieve real, sustainable success

Healthy success is multidimensional. It is about finding the balance between financial goals, motivation, physical and mental health and added value for the community. Organizations should invest in the well-being of their employees and the relationship with their stakeholders as much as they invest in their financial goals.
