How Does Success/Failure Feel as a CEO? (Beyond Financials)- I will not promote

How do you feel as a CEO when your company is doing well? I’m talking about real sensations beyond just looking at financials. If you had to analyze a company purely by gut instinct, what parameters would you consider? like Energy in the office or the way employees engage with their work..the confidence of customers? Something else? I need as many hints as possible. Basically I’m curious to hear from founders and execs how do you know your company is thriving without checking the numbers? Thanks
