The Keller Williams Realty Agent Leadership Council Clinic says that in team meetings, all team members must be made aware of the following about the company, prior to launching into problem-solving or brain-storming: the mission (why the company is in business); the vision (what the world will look like after the company's mission has been accomplished); the values (principles the company operates under in order to reach its mission and vision); the beliefs (what is true, according to the company's honest appraisal); and the perspective (how the company sees itself).
