<p>A mission statement is a brief, concise statement that lends a sense of focus and direction to team efforts.&nbsp; The mission statement should be specific enough to serve as a benchmark for setting priorities and evaluating the value of a team&#8217;s performance.</p>
<p><strong>The key qualities of a mission statement are:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Its purpose is to liberate energy, mobilize, federate, ethuse, and make people think; </li>
<li>It should be satisfying, reasonable, equitable, ambitious, possible and consistant with corporate culture; </li>
<li>It should look beyond the foreseeable future; </li>

<li>It must NOT be just an economic goal; </li>
<li>It must NOT be parachuted from above. </li>
</ul>
