Summary
Mission and vision statements help organisations define their goals and objectives. They differ in their focus on present and future, and in their purpose. Students learn how to distinguish between the two.
What is a Vision Statement
Vision statements outline a company's future goals and aspirations. They motivate employees and give customers a sense of the company's values and direction.
What is a Mission Statement
Mission statements describe a company's current purpose and operations. They focus on the products and services offered, and the company's main concerns.
The difference between them
The main difference is the time element. Vision statements look to the future, while mission statements focus on the present. Vision statements may not be true at the time, but mission statements are.
Personal reflection on the topic
The writer reflects on their own strengths and weaknesses in relation to mission and vision statements.
