What is your "mission moment"?

Fundamental Competencies
Written By Stacia Aylward

The Challenge

Take five minutes to mentally review your day. What did you do today that maps perfectly to your organization's mission? That's your "mission moment"!

Why do this?

Taking the time to identify your "mission moment" provides immediate satisfaction to you, and helps to ensure that your work is aligned with your organization's mission.

The act of finding key "mission moments" during your day shows your strong commitment to the cause you are serving, and that your actions and results contribute to the overall mission of your organization.

What’s next?

Institute a new practice in your next team meeting. Ask every member of the team to state one recent "mission moment" in their work. Celebrate those moments as a strong reinforcement of your organization's overall success.
