Develop a Mission and Vision Statement

For this part of the assignment, you will be developing your own Mission and Values Statement. Reflect back to your philosophy statement and the values activity to be sure your mission and vision support your values and philosophy on leadership. Let’s get started:

What is a mission and vision statement?

A vision and mission statement is a short, inspirational paragraph that sums up what you would like to be, do, and have in your career and future.

It defines what “success” and “excellence” look like to you in the future, and ultimately, it reflects your values, goals, and purpose.

Everyone’s mission and vision statement will look and sound different. It’s important that it captures your values and aspirations. It should also make you feel really good and inspired when you read it aloud.

So now that you understand the parts of a Mission and Vision statement, it’s time to write one for yourself.

So, how do I go about writing it? What are the steps?

When composing your own statement, find a quiet place where you feel at ease and where you will not be interrupted. Then follow the below steps and guiding questions. These questions are just to get you thinking; you do not have to write out the answers to each of these.

Visualize yourself five years from now. (This is just a visualization activity – you don’t have to write anything during this step.

· Imagine that you are managing and leading the project of your dreams. Envision that everything is exactly the way you want it to be: the type of project you are running, the type of industry, its size and complexity, the people involved, and your own capabilities as a project manager and leader. Imagine that you are every bit as successful as you want to be. Feel it and see it.

· Keep imagining yourself in the future, and be as specific as possible in your observations. VISUALIZE - Where exactly are you? Who is your client? What are you doing? Who are you interfacing with? What does the project look like? How big is it? How are you feeling? Why do you want to be exactly where you are? What is the bigger impact you are having?

Sum up your vision and mission.

· Write a response to the following questions: How can you sum up your vision and mission? What are the things you ultimately want to achieve? Who do you want to be? What do you want to do? What is the impact you would like to have and how would you like to be perceived? Be specific.

· What will need to happen in order for you to feel proud of your progress in five years’ time?

Now, take everything—the envisioning, writing, dreaming—and use the language and imagery to write your own vision and mission statement. Give yourself as many drafts as you need to refine it. Remember, it should express the values by which you live and work. Above all, you must feel excited and inspired by it when you read it aloud.

YOUR PERSONAL VISION AND MISSION

Vision statement: · A vision statement describes what you want to achieve in the future. · The vision statement answers the question “In the future I see myself…..?” · It defines the optimal desired future state—the mental picture—of what you want to achieve over time, say in five, ten, or more years. · It inspires you to give your best and shapes your understanding of why you are doing what you do.   Example: “I see myself as a nurse in the field of obstetrics providing an exceptional level of customer care and expertise.” What is your vision statement?

Your Mission statement:

Mission statement: · A mission statement describes what you want now and how you will achieve your long term aspiration. · A mission statement does not define a long term future state but is more concerned with the present state. It answers the questions of: “What do I do?”, “How do I do it?” “Who do I do it for?”, “What makes me different”, and “What is the benefit?” · It talks about the present leading to the future, and how you will get to where you want to be. Example: “My mission is to achieve a 3.5 GPA to be accepted to a prestigious nursing program” Now write your Mission statement below:
