Prof. Sesh Paruk definition of success has certainly changed over the years. I worked part time through many of my studies, so I was always grounded in reality. The “80’s were also very turbulent times politically and many of us were far too intense to enjoy a carefree campus life. Success at this stage meant completing my studies despite the barriers faced.
On moving into Corporate and industry, success became the obvious desire to climb the career ladder, to constantly better one’s performance and to soar to new heights. With each promotion, came increased self worth and exposure to new challenges.
Having achieved many of my career goals, for example: the pinnacle of my academic career which culminated in an Extraordinary Professorship being conferred on me for my contribution to the social sciences in trying to achieve societal renewal reaching top leadership roles where one commanded large teams and huge budgets, exposure to amazing networks and experiences, etc, I find that my notion of success has changed.
The lights, fame, glory and power associated with being in the limelight are no longer part of the equation. Success for me now is assessing how much of a positive impact my work has had on target groups; how many lives I have influenced positively and using various means for the balance of my active career life to shape and assist up and coming leaders.
