Build a Strategic Framework: Mission Statement, Vision, Values ... For Life, For Work

I was saddened recently to receive a note from a reader that stated she could see no reason why having a personal vision statement was important for her life or career. My recent poll about personal vision statements found more readers interested than not, I was happy to see. I am an immense fan of vision and mission statements that are actually lived. Both people and organizations need to establish a strategic framework for significant success. This framework consists of:

• a vision for your future,
• a mission that defines what you are doing,
• values that shape your actions,
• strategies that zero in on your key success approaches, and
• goals and action plans to guide your daily, weekly and monthly actions.
