How do you measure success

Just a philosophical question.

We are all concerned (to some extent) about how well we, individaully, as a
department or as an institution, are doing our job. Our college (a small
public community college) administration uses some criteria. I wonder how
we, as math instructors, decide hwether or not we are successful. Any
ideas? How do you (or your school) decide whether or not you are
successfully doing your job?

Actually, I'm getting ready to make about a 20 minute presentation to our
faculty and administration presenting my point of view. So I'd like to hear
from some other people who say they use the same criteria I do. (Don't ask.
If I told you my criteria it would "bias the input.")

Thanks for any indight you might give.
