How are proposals related to your mission?

Tomorrow, you’re presenting a proposal to the Leadership Team. The proposal is about how to orient new staff better. You feel good about the proposal.
 
But something is bothering you.
 
Then you realize what is bothering you. When developing your proposal, you didn’t think about your organization’s mission. You didn’t ask yourself, “In terms of the mission, what do new staff need to understand, be able to do, and value?”
 
As you consider this question, other questions come to mind:
  • How can we help new staff understand the mission?
  • How can we help new staff understand where we are in terms of achieving our mission?
  • How can we help staff understand how they contribute to the mission?
  • How can I help the Leadership Team see how this proposal supports the mission?
Good news! The presentation isn’t until tomorrow. So, you have time to revise it. You have time to make clear how the proposal supports the mission.
 
Consider 4 questions:
  1. What proposal are you working on?
  2. What do you hope to accomplish through your proposal?
  3. How does your proposal support the mission?
  4. How will you help others understand how your proposal supports the mission?
Connect your proposals to your mission. Today.
