David Burkus Presents

Vision, Mission, Purpose


Listen Later

Purpose statements, mission statements, vision statements.

It can get really cluttered really fast. It seems like every organization has a different offering when it comes to declaring their purpose. Some just have a mission statement. Some have a mission and vision, some have a purpose. Some use some other term to describe a little bit of prose that they put on a plaque in the office or in the front of a 10-K report.

And if you go from organization to organization, you can get really confused because the definitions change.

There's a lot of clutter out there and we're gonna cut through that clutter today.

Today, we're gonna talk about about the difference between purpose, mission and vision. How they interrelate to each other. How they affect each other. Whether or not you even need all three or whether or not you can cut through that clutter with one simple statement that accomplishes all three.
