"To support leaders in creating unique organizations where people can live and work within their core strengths and passions with clarity and purpose."

- Galt Consulting Mission Statement

This week, I have spent some time working on a mission statement for Galt Consulting.  This is a long overdue activity.  A mission statement is a declaration of purpose.  It is "what you do" as an organization.  Most larger companies have a mission statement and most of these statements are used exclusively for PR purposes.  These have limited value.  A truly powerful mission statement must mean something special to the organization itself.  Let's dig into Galt's Mission and I'll show you what I mean.

"To support leaders" - At the end of the day (as my good friend Brett Curry said to me), I don't bring good ideas, I bring good ideas out.  In other words, I bring resources to my clients and systematically help them to be who they are.

"in creating unique organizations" - I had a conversation recently with someone recommending that I utilize vertical markets to expand my business and replicate my efforts with multiple organizations in the same industry.  While working within a given industry does yield advantages, each organization is truly unique.  When organizations embrace that uniqueness, they begin to see unique levels of success.  Conversely, when companies work to match the competition, they limit themselves.

"where people can live and work withing their core strengths and passions" - It all starts with people.  Every single person is given a set of gifts by God and allowed to find great joy and enthusiasm when they work within those gifts.  This is not just a "fuzzy" people-concept...  it is a proven business practice that leads companies to greater levels of success.

"with clarity and purpose." - When you pull together leaders of an organization and deliberately look for opportunities, you will always find many opportunities.  My clients reduce costs, improve profitability, and improve their product quality... but in the end, these are only bonuses.  At the end of the day, they truly appreciate the clarity that forms in leading their business and the strong sense of purpose they feel in their day to day work.  I know... it's hard to see from the outside, but trust me!

That is my Mission!  I welcome your feedback!
