Recommendation

Laurie Beth Jones’ survey of the basic principles of creating mission statements and vision statements is accompanied by her personal observations. She includes stories about clients, business associates and friends, and stories from the Bible. The book focuses on ways each individual can develop a personal path to guide him or her through professional and personal life. The book is written in short, easy-to-read sections. The basic message about missions and goals is familiar. Many readers will find that this book offers a quick and useful guide to creating an overall plan, within an inspirational and spiritual context. However, some may admire her strong Christian orientation and others may find themselves uncomfortable with it. As she notes, her personal mission is to "recognize, promote and inspire the divine connection in myself and others." She fulfills that mission with the book’s underlying Christian message. getAbstract recommends this book to those who wish to develop a personal plan and who are interested in including a Christian-oriented spiritual dimension in that process.

Take-Aways

  • Have a clearly thought-out mission statement to guide everything you do.
  • A corporate mission statement is extremely critical in positioning - more important than anything else.
  • Your personal mission statement can guide you in shaping your career.
