Success is a core value closely associated with the orange drive within Management Drives. People who value success are highly focused on achieving goals, reaching high levels of performance, and realising their personal and professional ambitions. They strive for excellence and are driven to elevate both themselves and their teams to the next level. This focus on success fosters a culture of ambition, performance orientation, and continuous improvement—key characteristics of the orange drive.
The need for success stems from a desire for recognition, self-actualisation, and the pursuit of personal and professional growth. The underlying motivations include:
Goal orientation and ambition: They set clear and challenging goals for themselves and their teams, and work with determination to achieve them. Their ambition drives them to constantly pursue improvement and excellence.
Recognition and appreciation: Achieving success provides them with a sense of fulfilment and is often rewarded with recognition from colleagues, managers, and the wider organisation.
Competition and excellence: They are motivated by competition, both internal and external, and strive to outperform others. Surpassing goals and expectations enhances their sense of self-worth and achievement.
Self-actualisation: Success allows them to realise their full potential and fulfil both their personal and professional ambitions.
By fulfilling these needs, they are motivated to work in a focused and disciplined way to achieve their goals.
Within teams, individuals who value success bring a high level of motivation and focus. They encourage team members to pursue ambitious objectives and contribute to a culture of excellence and high performance. Their drive to succeed can help the team achieve stronger results and reach goals more quickly. Moreover, they inspire others to maximise their own potential and adopt a proactive attitude, leading to improved team outcomes and increased productivity.
Success differs from, for example, collaboration, a core value associated with the green drive within Management Drives. While those who value success focus on achieving individual and team goals, those with a strong focus on collaboration place greater emphasis on working together and building strong team relationships.
Success promotes goal orientation, ambition, and the pursuit of high performance.
Collaboration fosters team spirit, shared responsibility, and collective effort.
Both core values can complement each other within a team: success brings focus and motivation to reach goals, while collaboration creates a supportive and cohesive environment. Together, they contribute to a dynamic and successful team dynamic in which both individual and collective achievements are valued.
Pursuing success contributes to personal growth by developing a strong work ethic, perseverance, and the ability to set and achieve goals effectively. People who value success learn to remain focused and disciplined, even under pressure, and develop skills such as time management, strategic thinking, and problem-solving. Through their dedication and determination, they strengthen their professional competencies and are recognised as reliable and ambitious team members and leaders within their organisation. Their ability to deliver results and overcome challenges makes them valuable professionals who contribute to the success and growth of their team and organisation.
