If you were a footballer you might judge your success in goals. If you were a surgeon it might be the lives saved. If you were a foster carer it would be the lives you have changed for the better. So how should the rest of us judge our careers?
Imagine that somebody asks you the following question: “How successful has your career been so far?” Would it be easy or hard to answer...

Either because they don’t delegate appropriately or find it too
