Staying Mission True
Importance of Conversations
- Discussing staying on mission is essential to prevent organisational drift.
- Asking questions about mission focus helps identify:
- What to start doing
- What to stop doing
- What healthy rhythms to maintain
Effort Required
- Staying mission true requires active work and effort, like rowing against a current.
- It involves not only personal commitment but also preparing the next generation of leaders.
Collective Responsibility
- Mission fidelity is a shared journey, not an individual task.
- Organisations where multiple people actively ask about staying on mission are more likely to sustain long-term mission fulfilment.
Encouragement & Support
- Leaders are cheered on and supported in their efforts to stay mission true.
- Ongoing guidance and support from experienced mentors or peers can help sustain focus.
