Why Your Mission, Vision, and Values Matter (Part 1)

Today’s episode focuses the power of having an attractive, engaging, and inspiring mission, vision, and set of core values, and walks us through how we can begin to find or fine-tune our own mission and vision.   

“What do you do beyond just trying to make a profit?”

– Peter C. Atherton, P.E.

“Mission is about outcomes – tangible outcomes for others – that your firm and your work can help bring to reality… and when you are able to articulate such outcomes – and effectively put them out into the world – you’re better able to attract and retain clients you are ideally positioned to serve and employees who can be more passionately committed to your cause.”

– Peter C. Atherton, P.E.
