Why Have A Mission Statement?
The Mission Statement of any organization is a motivational aspect of the established vision. The mission answers the question, 'why do we exist,' and sets forth the day-to-day actions expected of every employee. An effective mission statement must resonate with the organization's stakeholders.
The purpose is to inspire commitment, innovation and change throughout time, in order to perpetuate a 'culture' of continuous improvement. To have a true 'systemic' culture, leadership must possess a clarity regarding the differences that exist between the district's culture and its climate. While often used interchangeably, the terms represent two very different organizational attributes.
An accurate analogy for culture vs. climate would be personality vs. mood. Culture can be defined as the personality (identity) of an organization, while climate would be equivalent to the mood or the 'feel.' |
