There is little question that organizational purpose and vision are
critical for performance. No vision/purpose -- No Performance, at least
pretty sub-optimal performance. And I think we have plenty of experience
indicating that Vision and Purpose
"statements" generated abstractly by a group (committee) or worse yet,
an individual -- have minimal effect on the effectiveness of an
organization.

  In my experience, especially in mentoring individuals, when individual
vision and purpose is aligned with the organization's vision and purpose
the effectiveness of the person and the organization increases.  If an
organization I'm thinking of working with has a vision or purpose out of
alignment with mine -- I'll pass, as I'll find no growth in the
experience.
