Thread Name: Mudcat's 'Stated' Goals
Subject: RE: Mudcat's 'Stated' Goals
No offense intended, just my point of view.... I'm tired of people wanting everything to have a "mission". When I see "mission statement" I cringe at the cult-like following of having to right a "mission statement" for every group, endeavor, business, etc. This phrase became very popular in marketing seminars, Tony Robbins type guru businesses, that proliferated in the 90's. Really, I don't mean to offend, but it rubs me the wrong way to see everyone following this blueprint idea of community and mission.
