1.0 out of 5 stars Why pay when you can get this information free?, September 9, 2003
By A Customer
I was disappointed that I paid $3.95 for this and got so little new information. Most of this information can be easily obtained by typing key words into your browser (i.e. Corporate Mission Statements). The document was 5 pages of large text, with big columns - in other words, it was in reality, a 1-2 page document. There is little information on what differentiates an effective mission statement from an ineffective one. I got a few pointers from this, but was overall disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Should've done my homework and read more reviews, November 17, 2002
The good news - I only wasted a few bucks on this.
The bad news - I was fooled into thinking it might really help me create a mission statement.
No substance at all, some common platitudes about taking care of your team and reviewing the draft.
I seriously cannot believe anyone would rate this 5 stars - I believe there is "review-stuffing" going on by this publisher's employees. If they know the default is that Amazon displays the latest two reviews...I would nearly bet money that my review will be pushed down by a couple "incredible! Gotta have it!" reviews within a few days of posting.

3.0 out of 5 stars Average, June 21, 2003
By A Customer
Coming up with a mission statement is a very in-depth process - so it's kind of hard to adequately deal with this subject in a short paper. If you're looking for something short and sweet, it's worth the three bucks or so. Otherwise I'd suggest checking out some of the books on the same subject.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth even a few bucks
This article has no meaningful content. I should have read the reviews more carefully, but the title seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. Not helpful at all.
