do you consider all mission/vision/values statements to be like this contestant's speech?
Or just the funny ones? :)
Cheers, Andrew
I'm afraid that mission/vision/values statements are just that in a lot of organizations (not all...and I have a couple clients who talk about them daily and use them). Statements don't work...it's about the behaviors. So....many, many, I'd say....but not all. (I'll let a few off the hook.)
I just can't stop laughing.
Actually, I think you missed the best part. It's the look on the announcer. He knows she's an idiot and he wants to burst out laughing but he can't.
The lesson maybe is that is the look that you want to avoid on your employees' faces.
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
Ubermensch, you're right. Maybe I need to listen better.
