Organisational Mechanics
Two quotes and a video to think about:
“A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.” Christian Nevell Bovee
“Doing a thing well is often a waste of time.” Robert Byrne
I suppose the trick is being clear what you regard as success.

James Lawther is a middle-aged, middle manager.
To reach this highly elevated position he has worked in numerous industries, from supermarket retailing to tax collecting. He has had several operational roles, including running the night shift in a frozen pea packing factory and carrying out operational research for a credit card company.
As you can see from his C.V. he has either a wealth of experience or is incapable of holding down a job. If the latter is true this post isn’t worth a minute of your attention.
Unfortunately, the only way to find out is to read it and decide for yourself.
