What is a Mission Statement?

Mission Statement most likely reminds you of some generic statement on the wall of your company lobby or some highlighted phrase in your hiring paperwork. This statement was the focus of the company. Most CEO’s or executives don’t know their mission statement that their HR director created.

A mission statement are your:

  • skills
  • passions
  • dreams
  • values
  • goals
Why do I care?

With those all wrapped up in a short statement helps you decide what to do with your life. It shows where you should work, what you value, where you want to be, and where to grow yourself. Having a mission statement is a trait of a successful person. Successful people make decisions based on their mission statement everyday and every hour.
