    商务管理之 写使命宣言 Writing a Mission Statement

    写一份公司的使命宣言能够帮助你和你的员工在共同目标(common goal)的感召下,更有激情地工作,同时有一个业绩衡量(gauge performance)的基准(benchmark)。使命宣言也可以让外界和公众通过只言片语就对公司有一个整体印象。尽管写使命宣言得费不少脑筋,但是拥有它真的非常必要。

    人员

    在起草(drafting)公司使命宣言时,应当走进不同的群体去了解,收集领导层、员工和消费者的意见,并组织一个小组集中讨论收集到的各种想法,听取各方观点。

    ⊙Would you mind filling out a survey for our mission statement?

    你是否介意填写一份有关我们宣言的调查?

    ⊙What's your opinion of……

    你对……有什么样的想法?

    ⊙What do you think about our products?

    你怎么看待我们的产品?

    ⊙When you think of our company, what comes to your mind?

    提到我们公司的时候,你脑中会出现什么想法?

    ⊙Our mission statement committee is going through the ideas we've collected.

    我们的宣言委员会将总结我们收集到的想法。

    公司

    仔细考虑公司在行业内扮演什么样的角色(role it plays),并了解企业的历史,做到准确定位。准确描述(pinpoint)企业的业务能力(business competencies)。企业最擅长什么?靠什么击败竞争对手?

    ⊙The purpose of company is……

    公司的目标是……

    ⊙Our mission statement is……

    我们的使命宣言是……

    ⊙We strive to……

    我们致力于……

    ⊙Our vision is……

    我们的愿景……

    ⊙Our values include……

    我们的价值观包含……

    ⊙We are a success driven organization.

    我们是以成功为导向的组织。

    ⊙Our role in the community is to……我们在社会中扮演的角色是……

    ⊙What do we do best?

    我们最擅长什么?

    ⊙What do we have to go over the competition?是什么让我们在竞争中脱颖而出?

    ⊙How would you describe our company environment?你会如何形容我们公司的环境呢?

    产品和服务

    评价你们的服务和产品。使用问卷表(questionnaires),调查(poll)你们的消费者、供应商、合作伙伴以及其他的相关团体,询问他们通过你们的产品和服务得到哪些受益。在产品和服务的未来发展方向上集思广益。

    ⊙What do you think the strength of our products are?我们的产品优势都体现在哪些地方?

    ⊙We are the leaders in……我们在……方面领先。

    ⊙The polls came back with some surprising results.调查得到了一些出人意料的结果。

    ⊙We seek to provide a high quality working environment.我们努力提供高质量的工作环境。

    ⊙We will continue our efforts to……我们将一如既往地为……而努力。

    价值观(values)

    你们致力于(dedicate to)发展的是什么?质量?消费者?还是成功?如果目的是为企业创造更多的机会,宣言就要有激励作用(Be motivational);如果是为了让员工和管理层有更多的认同,就应当突出共同的目标(common target)。

    ⊙We are dedicated to……我们致力于……

    ⊙We can achieve……我们可以实现……

    ⊙What we're trying to do is……我们正在努力……

    ⊙Our objectives are……

    我们的目标是……

    能见度(Visibility)

    一旦宣言起草完毕,就应当放在醒目的地方(high visibility),例如大厅的墙上。总之,在人们每天都能看到并联想到自身的地方。

    A:What do you think of this mission statement?

    B:At first, I just thought it was a bunch of words, but now, after seeing it everyday posted at our desks, I am starting to see how it makes a difference for our company.

    A:你觉得这个使命宣言怎么样?

    B:起初我还觉得那只不过是一堆词组而已,但是现在,每天看到这些贴在桌子上的话,我开始思考它对我们公司到底有什么作用。

    总结

    有没有一段话能够让睡眼惺忪的员工为之一振?有没有几句话让客户对公司充满信任?这就是公司宣言!宣言的起草不是一个闭门造车的过程,而应该深入各种群体,了解多方意见;要结合企业的价值取向,反映产品的特色;要表达公司所有员工的心愿和目标。满足上述理由的使命宣言就一定是一个响亮的宣言。

    实景对话1

    A:Our mission statement is out of date. It's time to put something new together. The management team has asked us to come up with a few ideas of what could be included in the new mission statement.

    B:Really?Management actually wants our ideas for a change?I thought we were just peons.

    A:Now, now……One of the values of our company is that every employee counts. That's something we believe in.In fact, I think that should be one of the core values in the mission statement.We are dedicated to providing quality service to our customers, and maintaining a company environment where every employee counts.

    C:How about something like, we are dedicated to working hard so our customers don't have to. Our objectives are to provide a needed service while running a successful business.

    A:Those are good ideas. What about our vision?

    B:Our vision is to make money.

    C:We can't say it like that. Even if it's true, that's not motivational……

    B:Money motivates me……

    A:Okay, let's get serious, guys. We can put those ideas in there, but we have to come up with the right way to word it. How about, we are a successdriven organization.We seek to provide a high quality working environment.We will continue our efforts to be responsive to the needs of our clients.

    C:That's good. But I think we need to include more.Like, what do we have going over the competition?What do you think the strength of our products are?

    A:Good thinking……We need something right along those lines.

    A:我们的使命宣言过时了,应该推陈出新了。管理层让我们提新的想法。

    B:真的吗?管理层真的要听我们的想法而有所改变吗?我还以为我们只是些苦力呢!

    A:听好了……我们公司的价值观之一就是每一个人同等重要。这是我们所信奉的。事实上我相信那应该是我们宣言中的核心价值之一。我们致力于向客户提供高品质的服务,并营造每个员工同等重要的公司氛围。

    C:看看这个听上去怎么样:“我们辛勤劳作是为了免去客户的劳作之苦。我们的目标就是成功经营生意的同时提供您需要的服务。”

    A:很棒。那我们的目标是什么?

    B:我们的目标就是赚钱。

    C:我们不能那样说。就算是真的,那也太直白了……

    B:钱激励着我……

    A:好了,大伙都认真点儿。我们可以把这些想法放进去,但是我们必须通过合适的说法表达出来。这个怎么样:“我们是以成功为导向的公司,我们致力于提供优质高效的工作环境,我们将继续为满足客户的需求而努力。”

    C:挺好的,但我觉得应当再加些内容。例如我们如何在竞争中脱颖而出?我们的产品优势在哪里?

    A:好主意……我们需要那样的语句。

    实景对话2

    A:What do you think of this mission statement?(reading)“We are leaders in development of new technology. We have achieved a cutting edgeadvantage, and we can achieve tomorrow's technologies today.Our values include innovation, creativity, craftsmanship, and technical skill.”

    B:At first, I just thought it was a bunch of words, but now, after seeing it every day posted on our desks, I am starting to see how it makes a difference for our company. I especially like the part that goes,“The purpose of our company is to make the world a better place through technology.Our role in the community is to improve the quality of life of our neighbors.”

    A:That seems a little idealistic to me.

    B:Yeah, you're right. It is idealistic.But it helps us have a vision and understand that the day-to-day monotony of the work we do is actually for a higher purpose. It helps to motivate us to do our jobs better.

    A:You really think so?

    B:Yeah, I do.

    A:你觉得这个使命宣言怎么样?(读)“我们是新技术研发的先锋。我们取得了显著的优势,明日的科技我们今日获取。我们的价值观包含创新、创造、工艺和技巧。”

    B:起初我还觉得那只不过是一堆词组而已,但是现在,每天看到这些贴在桌子上的话后,我开始思考它对我们公司到底有什么作用。我特别喜欢这几句:“我们公司的目标就是通过科技让世界更加美好,我们在社会中的作用就是提高我们身边每一个人的生活质量!”

    A:我觉得有些太理想主义了。

    B:是啊,你说得对。是有些理想主义,但它让我们拥有了一个共同的目标,并让我们明白我们每天在做的单调工作事实上是为了一个更高远的目标。它激励我们把工作做得更好。

    A:你真的这么想吗?

    B:是的,我是这么想的。
