Mission Statement
I have never realized how much importance goes into having a mission statement until recently. Within the campus we have a new Director and he is focused on our mission. He made us see the value in learning the mission, reciting the mission, and understanding how to relate each task at work to the mission and how it affects the main outcome. This training program also emphasized the importance of the mission. I found it interesting.
I came across your post from an entirely different course, but I can see how important having a mission statement would be. I work for a small private school and as we grow I believe we also need to have a mission statement.
We've had a mission statemnet for our company for over 30 years. We actually have it posted in every office. Some may find it to be overkill, but when I am hitting a creative or secular wall, I look to it to see where I can improve. It works every time!
