Sample Mission Statements

When you are looking for sources of creativity, it is often best to look at examples of the kind of thing you are creating. If your company is struggling to design a new mission statement, why not take a look at some examples? By reading through and studying the mission statements of various companies, you will be able to identify effective and ineffective writing strategies. This insight could prove to be priceless when it comes time to start writing your own mission statement.

Perhaps the best examples you'll find are of companies that are similar to yours. By studying what they included in their mission statements and the type of language used, you'll get a good idea of what you should be doing as well. Remember, however, that you are just seeking inspiration. A mission statement is very individualized, and can't be copied. Plagiarizing a mission statement would be like trying to steal someone's fingerprints--it just wouldn't work.
