He talks about how words like “mission” and “values” are overrated and misunderstood in business. An effectual mission statement will primarily answer one question – How do you plan to win in this business? This question alone can help companies figure out how to prevent pitfalls and understand their weaknesses and strengths to strive forward effortlessly. It’s about balancing the possible and the impossible. Most companies forget their mission statements and deviate from their plans only to encounter disaster in the future. Therefore, defining a real purpose or mission must be of prime importance for the company, and even if it takes time, the result will be worth it. Success in business.
