I just dropped in to see what condition our mission was in.
I check in on the Guidance Coordinator from time to time. He's the guy who coordinates the lady who guides the guy who is in charge of making sure we, as a company, stay on track, focused on our goals, and are true to our core values.
This years mission was: Continue to Build Upon Last Year's Mission. Last years mission was: Come up with a Better Mission for Next Year.
I'm told we're on track. That feels good.
I mentioned our Core Values. I think this would be a good time to review those. Here they are:
Honesty: Commitment to the Truth. We tell you right up front that we can't be trusted, that we're making it up as we go. We let you know that nothing we say is true or has any point to it, or, if it does, we make sure it is so ridiculous that you don't care anymore.
Integrity: Doing the Right Thing. Like not stealing purses from old ladies, which we haven't done for months now.
Trust: but verify. Even if it means asking things like; "Are you sure you scaled the Washington Monument?" or "Why does your green card have typos?"
Character: You will meet a lot of these around here.
Respect: (I forget what this means. I think it's something to do with not making fun of ugly people or midgets)
Humility: Remembering that there is more for us to do as a company than just be the best ever at everything in the universe. (Like what? Examples please?)
Caring/Fairness: Justice tempered with Compassion. We know when to terminate employment and when to stage a "tragic accident".
Diversity: Embrace Differences, as long as there are not too many of them.
Openness: Encourage dialogue and reflective thought. (This does not mean that I will disclose my salary to you).
Empowerment: Authority to Make Decisions. I have it. You don't. Na Na ne Na Na!
Personal Mastery: Have you mastered yourself lately?
