“Help me formulate a mission statement for Zorro’s Zecurity,” said Zorro. Loba and I sat down. “All modern companies have mission statements to motivate their employees.”
I pointed out that he does not have any employees, they all left, but Zorro said that’s the problem. The employees need to have a vision to be motivated to work for him!
Loba thought the employees need better pay and benefits but Zorro ignored her.
“We need to start with a statement about what the job is about,” said Zorro.
“Right, what about; We provide security and varmint control around your property…,” Loba started.
I told then they need something about Health and Safety because it is very important.
“Ok,” Zorro agreed, “how does this sound: We provide security and varmint control around you property in a safe and non- violent manner so the community can be relaxed and worry free. It is always good to be community minded,” he added.
“It must have something about having fun,” said Loba, “all young employees want to have fun.”
“And something about being part of a team,” I suggested.
In the end we settled for this; We, the team members at Zorro’s Zecurity provide security and varmint control around your property in a safe and non-violent manner so the community can live relaxed and worry free, while we have fun.
“Excellent,” said Zorro, this will make a big difference. We just need a few jobs so I can hire more employees.
