My first blog post from May 10, 2013, I wrote about my Personal Mission Statement 2012. I only found it fitting to revisit the Mission
Statement two and a half years later and see if anything has changed, there were a few questions that I kept in mind as I reviewed the statement:
1. Was
it adequately written to the point where it would not need much future editing? Yes.
2. Did
I hold myself accountable to the statement in which I produced? Yes.
3. Was
the statement an accurate reflection of my core personal values? Yes.
4. Has
the statement stood the test of time (well, 2.5 years)? Yes.
Mission
Statement 2012
To be a
catalyst of change: to promote, to inquire, and to understand change while
intentionally maintaining a genuine concern for people. Meaningfully placing
myself in positions to learn, to lead, and grow professionally with integrity
and excellence.
-Seek ways to make a difference (professionally and
personally)
-Continually expand my understanding of
people as invaluable assets to an organization.
Updated Mission
Statement 2015
To be a
catalyst of change: to promote, to inquire, and to understand change while
intentionally maintaining a genuine concern for people. Meaningfully placing
myself in positions to learn, to lead, and grow professionally with integrity
and excellence.
-Seek ways to make a difference (professionally and
personally)
-Continually expand my understanding and
connection of people as invaluable assets to an organization.
-Promote
the better and unique understanding of people as
invaluable assets to an organization.
What made this last bullet necessary for
me to add to my Personal Mission Statement is after a few years of working as a
professional and observing the people that work around me as peers, the people
that directly report to me, the people I directly or indirectly report to, and
my customers; I found that there is still a large gap regarding the connection
between employee and business.
By connection, I am meaning to say that, there
is still a very unclear understanding that businesses are in business to make
money, however, the employees and people of an organization are the most
valuable asset that an organization possess. It is the organizations people
that truly carry out the day to day function and operations of a business, by
which it makes it money. My goal with the last bullet is the gain traction and understanding around the people of any organization at every level.
