Aligning
the mission and vision of an organization with the individual employees or
departmental goals is a difficult task that the first-line managers face in
their day to day activities. This is mainly due failure to seek opinions from
all the parties involved in the organization. Just like the executive management,
the employees in different departments play a big role in the organization, and
therefore, when crafting a vision or mission, their contribution is necessary (Ayers, 2015). My brother and I helped out my
father in his store as managers during holidays. So one time my
brother and I had decided with all the staff that we should increase the
variety of dishes offered and slightly reduce the prices. My father on the
other hand, had decided that the hotel should improve the quality of the dishes
and increase the prices of meals without involving any of us. This led to a
great collision between the owner of the store who is my father and the rest of
us.
Every
business that wants to succeed must have tools in place which make the
management of the 3 Ps simple and more efficient. The three Ps represent the
people, profit and planet, the people includes all the individuals that
involved in the business both directly and indirectly, and profit
means the financial gain, specifically the difference between the total revenue
and total expenditure and the planet how the business is environmentally
responsible to the society (Burritt, 2012).
To
ensure the mission of the organization is in line with the mission, the
management must take the three Ps into account. This is because by putting the
people, profits and the planet into consideration while crafting the mission
and vision statement, all the departments in the firm will be aware of the
objectives of the business and will align their activities in a way that seeks
to achieve these objectives (Ayers, 2015).
