What Every Organization Needs!!
We hear it time and time again. Go to most any organization and ask the average person working there what their organization stands for. Ask them what their mission is. Ask them what their organization's values, vision, or beliefs are and you will generally get the same response. People will look at you with a blank stare. They might try to make up an answer or be able to even give you a partial answer. However, generally speaking, they will have no idea what you are talking about.
