The most successful organisations and teams are those whose leaders provide a clear and consistent view of what they want to achieve and how they will achieve it. Many successful leaders therefore ensure they clearly set out the three main building blocks
			The Mission A statement of the organisation’s purpose The Vision A stretching and motivational expression of what the organisation wants to achieve The Values The core values that will guide people’s behaviours in their relationships with colleagues, customers and partners	What distinguishes the real leaders from the ‘runners up’ is the way they ensure that the Mission,Vision and Values are integrated into all other appropriate management activities, processes and policies. Drawing on people’s growing competence in using the EFQM Excellence Model™, the Planning for Success© approach shows managers how to successfully develop and integrate the building blocks into all appropriate activities at the organisation, department and team level. This is the only way to ensure that success becomes sustainable – that people’s alignment to shared objectives shapes everything they do.
