I was talking to a manager the other day about mission statements. Most are bunk. A great many are posted and wisely forgotten. Many are too academic or verbose.
In my book, it is better to have no mission statement than to have a mediocre one.

Prevent harm - Survive - Be nice
Are there any mission statements that you love?
