Collaboration: The Key To Making Your Purpose, Vision, And Values Come Alive
Over the past few decades, many companies have taken steps to define and clarify their purpose (sometimes referred to as their mission), vision, and values. In their well-known 2004 book Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies, Jim Collins and Jerry I. Porras examined organizations that were over a hundred years old and the secret sauce that made them so enduringly successful. One of the key elements they found was having a mission statement that goes beyond just what the company does—a mission that serves a higher purpose in society, a vision statement outlining where they want to go, and values that truly matter. For example, one company I worked for, Barge Design Solution, Inc., is a national engineering and architecture firm—yet the company's purpose is not to produce engineering designs. Their purpose is to 'create a better life by unleashing the potential of our people, clients, and communities.' They fulfill that purpose through their design, engineering, and architectural projects in their communities. Barge's vision is 'to be the firm best known for being selected when it matters most.' The company is already fulfilling its vision in some of the cities and states where it operates; the dream is to accomplish this in all the cities and states where it operates. Purpose is a Process A purpose statement, a vision statement, and values are only powerful if they are intentionally and thoughtfully defined and articulated, which takes time, effort, and, perhaps most importantly, collaboration. When establishing the pillars of a company's culture, the process of engaging in conversation is just as important as the final product. I've seen leaders say, 'Okay, I'm going to figure out our purpose, vision, and values,' without taking the time to engage other people in this process. When this happens, the purpose, vision, and values belong solely to the leader, rather than to everyone. It's much harder to get your team engaged with and believing in your espoused direction and values if they were not involved in creating them. People are not connected to them. They forget about it. It doesn't become part of who they are. When we were defining Barge's purpose, vision, and values, we started out by having a half-day meeting with the executive team and asking, 'What is our mission? What is our vision? Where do we want to be? What are the important values that we want to live by? Why are we here?' We spent half a day just discussing these questions. How Purpose Emerges When I reported back to the CEO, I told him, 'Everyone on our team loves being here and loves working for you. However, we are not consistently saying things the same way. Not everyone describes the company's purpose in the same way. Not everyone is aware of the vision, values, and strategies. If your leadership team can't articulate these things, how can we expect our employees to do so? How do you expect our employees to know what is important?' We then took the entire leadership team offsite. We began with the draft purpose, vision, and values that I captured during the half-day session. As a team, we massaged it until everyone felt it aligned with their beliefs and priorities for the company. We spent an entire day discussing it, listening to every voice in the room, with every executive contributing. It truly came from—and became part of—who the executives were. If the process is truly collaborative and involves and incorporates the input of the executive team, the executive team will feel a sense of ownership and empowerment, the key elements of deeply rooted buy-in. People always need to be a part of the process. It's not just about producing the outcome; it's about making sure people are a part of its creation.
