Mission Statements Purpose and Values
Mission Statements and Purpose Statements help align the team.
Business owners who take the time to create a mission statement based on the purpose, passion and vision of the business will find that it is easier to connect employees and stakeholders to why you do what you do.
I have a number of ways to come up with the right words to describe the vision. But the first question to ask is why are you in business and who do you make a difference to?
A mission statement embodies why you are in business, what business you are in and how you will go about it. People who do not know you will read it and know what the business stands for. In this series of blogs I write about purpose, mission, vision, values and how we brought it all together.
A mission statement is clear, short and can be understood by those outside your industry.
