Mission, Vision Values and Management

Mission, Vision, Values and Management

Mission, vision, values and management play an important role in any place of employment. The standards and values in a structural culture are fundamental;” managers determine and shape organizational culture through the kinds of values and norms they promote in an organization” (Jones, G & George J. (2016) p. 80).

A vision is something that each employee within an organization must have. Nevertheless, employees should feel excited, proud, and a sense that they are a part of something far greater than themselves. Furthermore, a vision should stretch an organization’s competencies and self-perception of itself. It gives direction and form to the organization’s future.

The writer of this paper will discuss mission, vision, values and management and apply them to her current place of employment.
