Before I engage with or interview an organization,
my first action is to read and digest its mission, vision, values, and philosophy.
I use these statements as a compass to guide my questions and understand if 'we' are a good fit for working together.
Many organizations do not use these statements for team building or training or even as a guiding compass for continual quality improvement.
Yesterday, I brought the organization's mission & values statements to a team meeting. Clarity is needed as disagreement and confusion are high regarding handling x,y, and z situations. Turnover in critical positions and burnout are common here.
I asked,
"Who here uses the mission statement and values of x company to guide your day-to-day decisions?
No one raised their hands.
When I asked,
"Who knows the mission of x company?"
No one raised their hands.
It is clear that the organization
does not engage team members
with a united mission, purpose, and values.
"Your mission remains underutilized when you seek to improve your organization's success, productivity and performance without focusing on the mission.
When you fail to unite brand and culture with mission, you fail your employees and customers.
When you promote your mission to your employees, it results in a higher level of employee engagement and positive work culture, keeping them invested in the good work your company does when they go about their day-to-day tasks."

While I am still co-creating endlessly to break ground with the Eco Generation Park pilot community in the coming months,
all my work as a servant leader, consultant, educator, changemaker, and environmental gerontologist is
💫 Guided by mission, passion, values, and core philosophy.
When I work with an organization that resonates with a synchronistic mission and values,
I know We can co-create the innovation our world needs.
🌿 Simple yet Profound 🤩
