Brainstorming our Purpose


LIT leaders gave up their Saturday morning yesterday to brainstorm on team purpose, mission and vision statements. We started with breakfast - how else do you think I could get everyone together so early on a Saturday morning?!?



After a better understanding of the differences between a mission, vision and purpose statement, we got to spend some time working through an exercise to come up with a few key phrases that stood out to us.

Each leader was then given the opportunity to share his or her key words and phrases with the team. The team then talked through the phrase seeking the best way to say what the team's vision was. It was amazing to see each team's indivduality shine through while still maintaining a common theme since we are all parts of a larger unit.
Individual Team leaders will now meet with key team members over the next few weeks to do some more brainstorming, working together towards a collaborative end project. The teams intend to use the future purpose, mission and vision statements in brochures as a recruiting tool for future team members.
