Research & Short Essay

Research and find three sources that discuss drafting a good mission statement and examples of successful corporate mission statements. Write at least five paragraphs on the steps suggested to draft a statement, examples of good corporate mission statements (and why they are effective), and any personal reflections you have on what you have learned from others and your own experiences about succeeding in life.

Vision Statement

This statement is what kind of person do you want to aspire to be. What impact do you want to leave on the world? How do you want others to perceive you?

Draft your statement.

Mission Statement

This statement is your why, where, what, who, and how. What do you want to do? Where do you want to do it? Who do you want to do it with? How will you accomplish it? And, most importantly, why do you want to do it?

Draft your statement.

Values Statement

This statement reflects what you value in life, yourself, and others. What values influence your life and career? Integrity? Honesty? Hard-work? Fun-loving? Caring? Material success? Wealth? Faith in God?

Pick 3-4 values, why you picked them, and what you are going to do to live by them.
