Using "The Five Step Plan" outlined in Chapter 4 in the text, develop your own personal vision and mission statements. Provide not only the final statements but also the work you performed in the development process.

The Five-Step Plan A large percentage of companies, including most of the Fortune 500, have corporate mission and vision statements. The content of this work is his, and any errors or omissions are our responsibility. Mission and vision statements are designed to provide direction and thrust to an organization, an enduring statement of purpose. A mission and vision statement act as an invisible hand that guides the people in the organization. A mission and vision statement explains the organizations reason for being and answers the question, What business are we in? A personal mission and vision statement is a bit different from a company mission statement, but the fundamental principles are the same. Writing a personal mission and vision statement offers the opportunity to establish whats important and perhaps make a decision to stick to it before we even start a career. Or it enables us to chart a new course when were at a career crossroads. Steven Covey (in First Things First) refers to developing a mission and vision statement as connecting with your own unique purpose and the profound satisfaction that comes from fulfilling it.Covey, S. R. (1994). First Things First. New York: Simon & Schuster. A personal mission and vision statement helps job seekers identify their core values and beliefs. Michael Goodman (in The Potato Chip Difference: How to Apply Leading Edge Marketing Strategies to Landing the Job You Want) states that a personal mission statement is an articulation of what youre all about and what success looks like to you.Goodman, M. (2001). The Potato Chip Difference. New York: Dialogue Press. A personal mission and vision statement also allows job seekers to identify companies that have similar values and beliefs and helps them better assess the costs and benefits of any new career opportunity. The biggest problem most job seekers face is not in wanting to have a personal mission and vision statement but actually writing it. So, to help you get started on your personal mission and vision statement, here is a five-step mission/visionbuilding process. Take as much time on each step as you need, and remember to dig deeply to develop a mission and vision statement that is both authentic and honest.
