Chris,
If you were to develop a mission statement to describe your daily duties what would that mission look like?

Belinda,
You are right, a mission statement provides the guiding light that we need to find our way. A mission should always reflect the image of the organization.

James,
You are right, your mission statement defines what your organization is, why it exists, its reason for being. At a minimum your mission statement defines and identifies the student services you provide.

Sitara,
You are right, your companies mission and value premise provides you an inside look at your institution's characteristics. Your choice to uphold the mission is what builds the institution up.

The missision statement is critical in defining what it is the company as a whole hopes to accomplish. It ensures everyone is on the same page and allows us to move towards accomplishing our mission
Our company's mission and value premise is important to me because it provides a clear statement on what the company values. Having clear direction and purpose helps to keep all of us moving toward a similar goal.
The company's mission helps to keep in the forefront that our main focus is our students and their success. Also reminds us that in order to ensure student success, we must conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity.
The mission statement, along with the value-premise of the company, is very important to me. Without a clear directive of what our institution stands for, establishing trust with our prospective and current students - as well as faculty and staff - would be impossible. A clear mission statement is critical to ensuring the success of our students.
My company's mission and value premise is important to me because it helps provide me with a clear understanding of how to tie my scope of work to the company's objectives and values.It helps build purpose and value into the even the minor tasks within pur processes, policies and protocols.
The Mission Statement is what gives all of us, the employees, the direction that we want to move in. What drives the company? Is it service? Quality? Profits? Innovation? It tells me what I should do each day to meet the goal of the company as a whole.
This is important because it conveys our purpose.
It provides a guiding focus on what we say we're going to do and why we're going to do it. This allows us to evaluate ourselves on whether we are doing it and assess gaps between the mission and where we actually are so that we can address the gaps and keep moving towards our stated mission. Too many times I think people feel you must perfectly achieve your mission where I think the focus should be on striving for that, but more so on knowing your mission, constantly identifying the gaps in achieving it, and setting patterns of excellence for accomplishing it.
The company's mission and value premise is important because it establishes who the company is and the standards the company will adhere to.
Gina,
Welcome to the forum. I am sure that your institution would be happy to know that you have embraced your mission statement and applying it daily to what you do.

I believe in a person's right to educate themselves and move forward toward achieving their life goals. I consider it an honor to be part of the process by which a person can change their life circumstances through education. Adhering to the mission statement allows me to honestly and accurately represent my school to the prospective student and helps the student make the decision that is in their best interest. It empowers me to represent with integrity and to be able to feel great about what I do.
