What is most important to your organization—mission, core values or vision?

In your organization today or in the past what was most important?

"Mission" "Core Values" "Vision"

How would rank those today if your were in charge?

COL Mikel J. Burroughs great post, I would rank values, vision an mission. My thought process is to have strong convictions on right/wrong, the end-state/purpose and the mission. I guess its like a well oiled engine in a BMW sports car built for speed.

Core values lead the way.

In my opinion Core values transcend the mission and help shape the vision of the organization COL Mikel J. Burroughs

If you don't have the Army Values as a soldier, you are dangerous.

I work for a Contracting Company. It's a great company but the nature of the Beast is very Mercenary for the Right Price we will sell our souls to the Devil and Have. LOL! Vision, I would have so say Vision, All the Companies and Organizations that I have worked for have Lofty Goals and they try really hard within reason to accomplish those Goals. Core Values are great, hopefully they are more than Words on a Piece of Paper. I think most try and Maintain Core Values but they can be lead astray easily by Customer Demands.

The mission comes first and then the troops.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs I wonder if it depends on the level. An operational unit might be focused more on the mission, however a higher level (flag officer) organization might be more concerned with Vision.

For the NCO Academy I would have to say vision and core values. Because without these the junior NCO's we train may not grow into something more.

For me Core Values, mission and Vision but I think we lack values that are true to honor and dignity. I have seen it first hand and I think that its sad when you have no core value of integrity to be better then most. I think we got there as a team so why not work like a team and not step on the little guy on the way past them. Just my thoughts.

Core Values, Mission, Vision. The core values help shape those who are dedicated to the mission to provide the vision of what we want in our military.

You could switch the words around like : Navy Core Values help shape those sailors who are dedicated to the mission to provide a vision of what we want in our Navy.
