So, What the heck is a mission statement?

Well, that is a very good question. Let me use the words of Stephen Covey in order to try to get you an answer. Dr. Covey says, your mission statement is a statement that “will identify the first, most important roles, relationships, and things in your life--who you want to be, what you want to do, to whom and what you want to give your life, the principles you want to anchor your life to, the legacy you want to leave.” To help you see what this type of document looks like, you will visit a few corporate websites and see what corporations write as their mission.
