A former boss used to make at least one person at every meeting recite the company’s mission and vision statements–yes, two different statements, and if you missed even one word, no matter how inconsequential, he’d get on your ass about it in front of everyone. No surprise that he constantly listened to and quoted management podcasts and audio books, rarely questioning any of them.

(and that vision is “happily pissed people with empty wallets”)

Creating loyalty is not complicated it just requires everyone on board with the vision.

I think they a word there.

I read The Dilbert Principle last month (only about thirty years behind the curve, I know) and it slates purpose mission vision statements even then.

In retrospect, it looks like Adams’ edgy jokes and views didn’t age well.
