A Different Way of Looking at the Leadership Environment
- The need for leadership arises when something worthwhile needs to be defined and accomplished by an enterprise.
- Missions are a little like a “Tug of War”. Everyone here should be at least pulling in the same direction on perhaps the same rope, too.
- A mission in the context of a leadership role typically refers to a clear and concise statement that outlines the purpose, values, and goals of the organization or team that the leader is responsible for.
- For leaders, a mission statement helps align the efforts of team members toward common objectives, fosters a sense of purpose and identity, and provides a framework for evaluating progress and success.
- A well-defined mission statement should answer fundamental questions about the organization’s or team’s reason for existence, what it aims to achieve, and the principles that will guide its behavior.
- The existence of a “Mission Orientation” when leaders are working with a team is often overlooked in many organizations.
- If there is no Mission Statement, there is no focus of followers toward accomplishment or awareness of such an effort’s worthiness to the enterprise.
- If there is no goal for the team, there is no need for followers or leaders.
- Leaders need to have a “Mission Statement” that outlines the purpose, values, and goals of the organization or team that the leader is responsible for.
- Leaders must measure progress toward achievement of mission and followers and stakeholders need to know progress toward the goal.
