Mission Vision, Amazing!

teachers thinking

Participating in the making a vision-mission for the School of Business and Management is no easy task. It requires both thinking and foresight. Even though the day was draining, my fascination overtook my drained state due to the way Dr. Mark Labuntog creatively managed the whole exercise. Starting from the contemporary prayer entitled “Love Changes Everything”, he managed to link the song to our personal values and then to a vision we see ourselves committed to and finally a vision we could share and collectively actualize as a school. Amazing! This was basically the flow of the whole exercise. It was really dynamic. Ideas were challenged and exchanged, words were chiseled, words were explained to its core, and the beauty of it appeared when all of our personal experiences and insights fell into place to produce a collection of words that we confidently declare as our mission vision. Yet the mission-vision is still half-made. We have to meet again tomorrow to further strengthen the mission-vision. What I’ve learned so far is this; Mission-Vision making is never easy. It deals with different frequencies of different people with different experiences. Diversity carves a good mission vision. We somehow entered into a battery of views and beliefs and hopefully would come out with a near-perfect carved mission vision we all be inspired to commit.
