In this episode, Kerry Mallory, senior private wealth advisor of Blue Trust, talks with Becca Spradlin about mission drift.
Business owners, church leaders, and organizational leaders can all remember creating the mission statement, but how do you prevent mission drift in your culture?
Becca Spradlin is the author of Lead on Mission. In the book, Becca explains how even the strongest faith-driven businesses can suffer from unintentional neglect and drift away from their original higher purposes and values.
Reality of Mission drift
Consider why your organization exists. What are its Christ-centered ambitions? How are they lived out each day? These elements make up your capital “M” Mission. It often goes beyond an organization’s mission statement. It includes core identity statements, the culture, and ethos of the organization as it seeks to advance the Kingdom of God.
With this in mind, look ahead 5, 10, or 50 years. Who will be leading your organization? What will its core activities be? Will its “why” have changed?
Whether your organization has been around for 10 years or 110, the reality is the same: Mission drift is only a matter of time without on-going effort and accountability.
Are you a business leader looking to build your company with a higher, eternal purpose in mind?
In this webinar, Becca Spradlin shares inspiring and cautionary case studies of companies that have cultivated faith at work, highlighting the importance of staying true to a company’s higher purpose. You’ll learn about businesses that have drifted away from their faith-driven objectives and others that have successfully remained on mission, continuing to make an impact today.
Over ten years ago I had the privilege of joining the HOPE International team, right around the time the book, Mission Drift was written by HOPE’s CEO, Peter Greer. Given my background in ratings, I was asked to develop an assessment to identify areas of potential drift within the HOPE network. In Peter’s words, “it’s not if we’re drifting, but where are we drifting.”
