I read a very interesting article this morning in the USA Today. It was an interview with Robert Nardelli, CEO of Home Depot. He became the CEO of Home Depot in 2000, after having a successful career with GE Powersystems. The article provided a glimpse of the philosophy being developed at Home Depot. One of the paragraphs focused on their new mission statement "Improve Everything You Touch." I've seen many mission statements but this one is great. Simple and to the point. It connected with me as I suspect it does with everyone employed at Home Depot. If only other companies could find ways to create mission statements that are easy to remember and simply states what they want to do.
