Obviously their activities should be how you measure their success.

To create a good, solid, viable organization takes a little bit of everything. Quantity. Quality, and Diversity!
Like former Bonanno boss Joe Massino once said to an underling (before turning rat, that is), as I quote, "It takes a lot of ingredients to make a good sauce."
You need a large enough membership that you can hold your weight out there "on the street" against competing crews. You need enough sharp and smart members who have a knack for seeing and creating new streams of revenue, in both illicit rackets, and legit business penetration alike. You need enough strong-arms and tough guys who can protect the organization's assets and members from vouchers and malcontents. You need enough strong "core" inducted membership to steer the ship, and by extension, enough viable "associates" worthy of raising up into the future ranks of the borgata. You need enough "money" guys who can invest and "bankroll" various operations as the need arises. You need enough "savvy" low-key, and "thinking" leaders to navigate treacherous waters, and protect those "less-capable" thinkers from tripping over their own feet. Etc., Etc., Etc.
And most important, and not to be taken likely...You need "luck!" Without a bit of luck, it doesn't matter if you have all those other things I mentioned. Without luck, you're out of luck!
