Lesson 27 Mission, Vision, Values
I
was an evaluator for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality award in the
past. One area that the evaluators
looked at with applicants for this prestigious award was MVV – Mission; Vision
and Values.
Let’s look at vision first.
Your
vision, of course, is different than a company’s vision. Your vision for yourself should be what you
see yourself doing and why. “I see
myself leading a non-profit community based organization that provides care for
homeless mothers” The vision is future
oriented when you are successful and have achieved your goals. “I see myself leading a team of technology
entrepreneurs in developing a smartphone application that helps people find
healthy lifestyles”.
Now values:
Values
are going to be more personal for an individual value statement. These really
recap what are your basic beliefs about what matters to you. How do you see yourself ethically and
spiritually? “I value human life and
diversity and will work to have balance in my coworkers “ “I value hard work and honesty, but also
compassion, true carrying and understanding”
Finally mission:
Your
mission statement puts your vision into practice. What is your overall purpose to achieve your
vision utilizing your values? It could be something like: “To create a
world-class, customer-focused attitude.
Take
time and research Mission, Vision and Value sites on the internet.
Assignment:
- Create a vision statement for your life, based on your goals (including your BHAG), your major and your values.
- Create a value statement for your life.
- Create a mission statement for your life.
Two
quotes today: "When you discover your #mission, you will feel its demand. It will
fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it." - W. Clement Stone
"Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a
nightmare." -Japanese proverb
