good idea. however, the moment you get people on staff buying in to that, you should probably have some mechanisms to listen to their ideas too. Every time I buy in to some sort of corporate mission statement and believe it, I want to actually help get there. If I'm being told to do something which obviously/patently won't get there - because I've done XYZ for 25 years and I know the ramifications/impact of these decisions, and I know they don't get us closer to "mission statement" - I want my input and direction to be heard/heeded. Not always 100% "do what he says", but... when you simply ignore my warnings, and my outcome happens... I lose interest in your "mission statement".
