You can read the mission statements for a variety of businesses by entering "mission statement" in any Web search engine. You'll find information on how to develop a mission statement in the online SOHO Guidebook at www.toolkit.cch.com/Text/P03_4001.asp. It's not a new idea, but many business consultants suggest that in addition to a mission statement, a business should have a "story." Read about the benefits of a business story in Edward O. Welles's timeless article, "Why Every Company Needs a Story." You'll find this article at www.inc.com/articles/details/0,6378,ART1658

Adams has no sacred cows--not even mission statements are safe from his sense of humor. This article from the San Jose Mercury News describes how Adams, masquerading as a management consultant, got some unsuspecting executives to write the kind of mission statement his comic strip typically ridicules.
