Mission Statement by debgrant Mission statements have probably been around forever. I have not researched the history. Not sure I want to. I know that it wasn’t a part of my childhood. It seemed to surface in adulthood. One of those trendy corporate things. Like power ties. Three martini lunches. Trophy wives. And then there came mission statements. A corporate way of getting everyone on board. Everyone understanding what boat they were in and where the boat was going and their purpose in it. Suddenly everyone needed a mission statement. Something to hang on a wall in a corporate meeting room or reception area. Surrounded by two potted fichus trees. Developing mission statements became its own industry. Helping companies write mission statements. Experts were born. The mission statement of a mission statement company was to propagate mission statements like rabbits as if it were mission of rabbits to keep the metaphor going.
