RRL:

- Additional desirable characteristics for mission statements include being clear and

sharply focused, providing direction (e.g., describing available opportunities), matching

the organization’s competence, and inspiring personnel. That is, the mission statement

must commit the organization to specific results rather than only to engaging in specific

activities. (Carver, 2000)

- In addition to this, Marlott (2003) stated that, for a mission statement to be effective, it

must clearly specify both the constituency that the organization serves and how this

constituency benefits from the activities of the organization.

- Varthana (2021) pointed out 8 reasons as to why Vision and Mission statements are

important for a school. These are as follows; (1) Guides the thinking and actions of

school employees. When the whole school adopts and interprets the vision and mission

statements clearly, they can channel and focus their time and energy on taking the school

forward, rather than just worrying about justifying the soundness of what is being done.

(2) Helps determine and develop performance standards. School vision and mission

statements will make it easier to establish transparent and consistent performance

standards and measurements. (3) Helps attract appropriate talent. Interviews and

hiring processes in schools can become easier with standard vision and mission

statements. The school can align required behaviour, characteristics, and skills to design

and conduct interviews. (4) Provides context and reduces friction during

organizational restructurings. When a school undergoes changes and restructuring, and

reallocation of tasks and resources, a clear vision and mission can give some context to

reduce the stress of adapting to change. (5) Inspire people to be focused and

productive. A well-created vision and mission statement can act as a motivating factor

for the school and its subordinates. (6) Facilitates collaboration with teams. A school

with a common goal towards vision and mission can work together in teams with a

positive team spirit. (7) Helps with public relations. Since the school functions around

the vision and mission, there will be consistency between what happens inside and what

is communicated outside. Keeping the school and its public image in sync gives its public

identity greater solemnity. (8) Provides a stable framework that can outlast internal

changes. When vision and mission become an integral part of the school, the functioning

legacy will continue to be consistent even if there are internal changes like leadership
changes, replacement of school staff and teachers, etc. Adversities can be handled

smoothly and the school can grow stronger and more efficient.
