what's your company mission statement?

Lola815

We've been working on our company's mission statement for the last few weeks and I think we almost have it. I was hoping that all of you out there would share yours and how you display it. Do you have it on banners, put it on your letter head, etc?

thanks....

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-11-03 AT 01:17PM (CST)[/font][p]Ours is "First, Let's Kill All the Lawyers!" (Just kidding)

We have a mission, vision, value and purpose statement

Mission:
"Caring for our community by providing advanced, comprehensive heart and vascular services through a progressive & compassionate health care team."

Vision:
"Establish South Carolina Heart Center as the premier cardiovascular provider in the Southeastern United States."

Core Values:
*Quality in Everything We Do
*Fulfillment in Our Work (teamwork, fun, productivity, etc.)
*Principled Action (integrity, honesty, fairness and respect)
*Growth & Expansion in our capacity, technology and ability to serve
*Profits for Overall Health of the Organization

Our Purpose:
To Reduce the Impact of Cardiovascular Disease

We spent a LOOOOOOOOng time developing these statements. We took all employees through a "reorientation" to introduce them to the new philosophies. We also had posters printed up and framed for all areas of our practice. We developed a code of conduct for employees to use for patients and themselves.

We researched a lot of these items through a book called "Built to Last" by James Collins & Jerry Porras.

It takes a lot of effort, but if you try to live your statements every day and also have them in front of you, it helps to make a difference.

Coming up with our mission statement was a long and painful process, but when all the top staff agreed, we presented it first at our stockholders annual meeting. It is included in our employee handbook and quoted in our TV and radio commercials.

Whatever you do has to be right for YOUR company and culture. We are rather conservative, so we skipped the banners, but that's really not a bad idea!

As a nice touch, I've seen organizations have their mission statement printed on the back of all business cards.

I hate to bust someone on the lawyer quote, but it is actually from Shakespeare (Henry VI, Part 2). See lawyers were hated even back then!

Rockie,

The only reason I know the quote is that I have a t-shirt that a friend gave me with the quote on it.

That's cool. I love a lawyer with a sense of humor. I once gave my father in law a t-shirt that said "My lawyer can beat your lawyer". He loved it!

Here are my two favorite lawyer T-shirts:

"She's no lady
She's a lawyer"

"Of course I'm an attorney
If you lean real close,
You can hear the meter running"
