I need samples of mission statements.

<So you might want to get your facts straight.

Back off Dian.

You have obviously gotten your dander up over a little good natured
ribbing.

As I was in error for suggesting that the reason for MouseTrax being in
business is to make a profit, I apologize.
 
Dian,

Surely you do not imply that those who do not share your "opinions" on
mission statements are in any way less educated or schooled in running
a corporation.

Did you learn to think of employees as "little worker ants" and
subordinate supervisors/managers as "little bosses" in that course of
study?

<SIGH> No...that was an exaggeration. Although I have had the
misfortune of working at several companies that do have those views,
as well as employing self-important micro managers who SHOULD have
been designated more as "little bosses" since they behaved that way.
Which is why I prefer not to frequent that world any longer.

Feel free to continue to dispute any of these facts. Sorry I can't
continue to enjoy this claptrap...I have work to do.

Cheers!

Hold On Here!-A bunch of really intelligent people jsut forgot the mission of
the discussion group and veered of onto phillosophy of business/HR 101...Like
the old song goes "Just let it be...."

Patrick,

Yeah, it drifted. I think now that we have all capped our pens and
withdrawn from the field :-)
 
Dian D. Chapman, MVP shared this with us in
microsoft.public.word.newusers:
And in that statement...you are completely mistaken.

We do NOT charge squat for the help/advise that we provide. Unlike
many who refuse to take support email through their personal email...I
do that all day long and have no problem with it. I happily help MANY
people with free advice, critiques of their work and often times
provide free help to those who even offer to pay...because it's not
right to charge one person for something I freely give to others. So
you might want to get your facts straight.

<soapbox>
The difference between email and usenet help and advice:

Email is (in your case) free of charge but most of the times not Free
(as in Freedom of Speech) unless explicitly stated so by both
correspondents. (confidentiality of the mail, or something like that).

Usenet is, by its very nature and definition, Free (as in Speech) AND
Open. Free means anyone can write whatever they want and Open means
anyone else can do with it whatever they want.
This means if you write something here, you can't prevent someone else
doing something with it (even making profit). And if you make profit
with something you read here, you can't prevent someone else from also
making profit.

A technical consequence is that Usenet itself is free of charge, only
the access might be something you have to pay for.
Yes, if someone comes to me asking me to build them a project...THEN I
point them toward my consulting services...which is an entirely
different matter. But also in that case, they do get free info about
what it will take and what the cost would be to go that route...as
well as info links to learn on their own and the time/cost differences
from doing it themselves versus having me do it for them.

Respect!
 
I just came across one from a Project Management company:
Our mission is to anticipate the needs of our
clients to conceive, develop, and deliver the
highly effective project management solutions
used to seize competitive advantage.
 
Ghastly. I'd steer well clear of that company.

When I first glanced at that, I thought it said something about deceiving,
not conceiving. Oops. ;-)
 
You'll probably want to steer clear of the company with this mission
statement, too, T! <eg>

"We work to help people and businesses throughout the world realize
their full potential."

Is that MS, per chance? :)

And what in the world does <eg> mean? Excellent grin? Egghead grin?
 
Hi Daiya,

Hi E~

Back before they knew they were mission statements...

"To all that come to this happy place: welcome.
Disneyland is your land.
Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth
may savor the challenge and promise of the future.

Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams,
and the hard facts that have created America...
with hope that you will consider every penny spent here
an investment in joy for the world."
-- Disneyland's dedication, 1955

More than 'enlightening': it's a warning!

: Thank you, that is *very* enlightening. :)
