Mission as an Organizing Principle

• What is the role of our organizations in responding to the need for meaning?
• What, if any, is the social contract between an employer and employee?
• Have we defined the mission of our organizations to include bringing purpose and meaning to those who are fulfilling the mission?
• How do we measure the effectiveness of our organizations?
• Can (should) our organizations become moral communities to help shape the human character and behavior of our people?
• Can our mission be an organizing principle?
