Mission and Vision Statements
Why it is important to establish your vision and mission before you begin your administrative internship?

In my opinion, the relevance of having a clear and definite vision and mission in place prior to beginning one's administrative internship cannot be overstated. For purposes of this discussion, a vision will be taken as that mental picture one possesses with regard to a given undertaking. On the other hand, a mission in my view is essentially a proclamation of the key purpose of a particular undertaking. To begin with, a personal vision and mission statement will give me some sense of purpose. It will help me develop the motivation I need to complete my internship. With a clear and concise vision and mission, I am convinced that I will not waver as I pursue that which will be most beneficial to my professional development.

A vision and mission will also enable….

VISION STATEMENT

In summary, Etisalat's vision is a world where people reach is not limited by matter or distance. As a telecommunication company, its main vision is to create social contact and a profound transfer of information irrespective of geographic location. In essence, Etisalat is attempting to create a world where people will effortlessly stay in touch with family and friends. In addition, Etisalat would like to create a world where businesses of all sizes can reach new markets without the limitations of distance and travel. This vision as it relates to organizational behavior is particularly lofty. For one, competition, due primarily to globalization has created an environment in which human capital is vital to success. As the article illustrates, the UAE has imposed employment restructures that hinder the company's overall ability to be successful at its vision. In summary, the UAE has required Etisalat to employ a certain….

Strategic Toolkit: Mission; Vision Statement
Strategic Toolkit: Mission and Vision Statements

Business "toolkits" ideally contain Mission Statements and Vision Statements, along with other tools. While the Mission Statement is a concise declaration of why a business exists, the Vision Statement is a more elaborate assertion of what the business sees, hears and does to achieve the optimum outcome. The oca-ola ompany's Statements vs. Wal-Mart's Statements reveal wordy, imprecise uses of these tools vs. pointed but hyper-abbreviated applications of the same tools.

Elements of a Good Mission Statement

A Mission Statement is concise, clear and tells why your business exists. According to Kapenda, "if your mission statement can't fit on the back of your business card, then you need to go back to the drawing board" (Kapenda, 2008).

Elements of a Good Vision Statement

A good Vision Statement is supposed to "inform, inspire and energize" ourselves, our coworkers and other stakeholders through a "vivid mental picture of….

mission and vision statement serves as the foundation for many companies strategic plan. However, not all companies even have a mission statement. In fact, one survey found that out of one hundred CEOs that sixty percent had no mission statement and eight percent had no statement of values (elch & elch, 2008). There are many businesses that do not believe a formal mission is necessary. However, the mission serves as the first step in the strategic planning process and can be an invaluable tool to communicate both internally and externally. This analysis will look at two mission statements, one from Home Depot and one from Nike to determine how these statements represent their organizations.

Based on the situation at Saint Francis de Sales Schools, the organization is suffering from a lack of vision and confusion with regards to its mission. There is not enough forward-looking perspective in the organization; the school has continuously been resting on its laurels instead of planning for the future (Klag, Giroux & Langley, 2012). Instead of focusing on the changes in the society and how the school should adopt to meet them—such as the rise of technological advancements in the Digital Age, and the demands of demographic shifts—the school has instead dithered away without growing its list of donors or building for tomorrow. Therefore, vision statement for Saint Francis de Sales Schools should be: To be the number 1 leader in secondary school academic performance and all-around accomplishment in England.
The mission statement for Saint Francis de Sales Schools should be: 1) To form well-rounded students by adopting a balanced approach….

Vision Statement
Discuss the way vision was used at Mentor Graphics.

At Mentor Graphics Corporation, the created vision had several components, which might be regarded as questionable in terms of effectiveness. First, the vision was "unarticulated," meaning that, at best, the vision was not even a statement as such. Instead, it is likely that most employees and managers were not as such aware of the vision statement, but rather had little more than a vague notion of what the company aimed to do. The second component of the developing vision was to "Beat Daisy." In addition to being somewhat vague, this statement is also reactive to the products of others rather than focusing on the goals of Mentor Graphics Corporation itself.

McCarthy (2009), however, provides some good advice on creating an effective vision statement. The first requirement is to determine what the company would like to achieve in the future. This appears inherent….

Vision Statement
Ever since I was young I have always wanted to become successful. I have always wanted to be a good example and to inspire other people in their life. I have always envisioned myself as someone who leads and others follow. Above all I always have the passion of helping others (Gillespie-Brown 2012). After I completed my high school education I went to the university where I am majoring in organization management in Human resource management. I am a very organized individual and I am sure that this aspect will come in handy in future as I practice what I have learned through my college education.

The world today is becoming very competitive. Education has become an important aspect of life. Gone are the days where one could just finish their high school education and look for jobs at restaurants or stores. Today everyone is keen on furthering their education.….

I would say that my greatest strengths as a teacher are my commitment to improving the lives, learning, and attitude of my students and my determination to engage in intense self-scrutiny about my teaching methods. I am determined to make school a dynamic and welcoming place. Balancing the individual needs of students with the need to create an integrated and fully-functioning classroom is my challenge and the challenge of so many educators today: we must meet pre-determined standards in terms of what students can learn, but are coping with a more diverse population than ever before.

I hope to use that diversity as a strength to make my classroom a better place. Using team assignments enable stronger and weaker students to work together and create a more cohesive sense of unity. I also intend, on the other hand, to encourage students to engage in independent activities, such as research projects, which….

Vision Statement
A Culture of Learning: New Mexico Junior College

In modern day America, the focus on being a hard-worker, making a lot of money, and being socially popular are considered essential to achieve a certain standard of political and economic success. Many Americans still hold the concept of being wealthy only in the financial sense; and thus the spiritual element remains withheld entirely from academic, intellectual, or other "mind" pursuits (Elias 2008). The separation of mind (intellectual pursuits), body (practical, Calvinistic matters), and spirit (the examination and appreciation of meaning) has seriously degraded the average American's ability to use their intuitive, creative reasoning powers to keep their cold, systematic reasoning capabilities sharp, elastic, and progressive. As a result of this causation, the American public is largely anti-intellectual, and so are its students. Through nurturing student interest in internal, versus external, issues, the hope is to eventually change the reason why students….

As a Command Sargent Major, I would be the "senior enlisted adviser to the commanding officer of a battalion-sized or larger unit," including "all other enlisted personnel within the unit (Guerra 2010). Moreover, "Command sergeant majors have the task of upholding military customs and traditions," which means that I would have the honor of receiving due respect for the U.S. Army traditions and process that make my personal and professional goals a reality. ithout the existence of the Army, and the hierarchial process that I can work upward to gain responsibility, financial security, and greater self-confidence, I do not think that I would have the passion and determination in life that I do today.

Vision Statement
To ensure students have the skills necessary to pursue whatever dreams they may have, whether that is to go to college or to enter the workforce upon graduating.

To incorporate technology-based learning into all classes.

Teachers are often intimidated by technology they do not understand and feel that their more technologically-literate students comprehend technology better than themselves. This can lead to technology avoidance amongst teachers. However, although students may be fluent in the language of texting, they may not necessarily be well-versed in how to use the Internet for research, how to design a web page, or have mastered other technical skills that are critical for success in college and in the workforce. Technology can be integrated into research process in the humanities (such as English and history) and also be used to conduct experiments in the sciences. Once the technology is provided for the district, it is a cost-effective way….

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission statement of any company speaks directly to the products and services that the company will provide to its consumers. A mission statement does not review the vision of the company but when held against it the mission statement must be clearly in agreement with the vision statement.
