That's A Good Question

"Is Developing a Mission Statement a Waste of Time?"

Absolutely not! A good mission statement will inspire the team to work together because it is the higher purpose of why the organization, function or business unit exists. It should be brief and easy to remember. Great examples are Disney's "To Make People Happy" and Conoco Phillips' "Use Our Pioneering Spirit to Responsibly Deliver Energy to the World." Missions are a strategic cornerstone so developing a good one is time well spent.
