My measure of success is whether I'm fulfilling my mission.
The Spanish Empire eventually collapsed because of its expensive taste for warfare and conquest.
Most employees only want to know how much they get paid and how much time off they get - they probably don't have the mission in their souls.
I know the Federal Reserve Bank can continue to print more and more money... but city and state governments cannot.
