How do I Complete 'Mission' in the Scorecard for an Open Position?
Capturing the essence of success
The mission is the first element of a Scorecard. It captures, in one sentence, the very essence of what success looks like in a role.
Examples:
-
VP Sales: “Grow RiverCo’s largest division from $50M to $100M over the next three years.”
-
Olympic Skiing: “Represent the country at the 2026 Winter Games and finish in the top 5 rankings.”
Tips for writing role missions:
-
Keep it short and clear — one sentence max.
-
Tie it to business outcomes — not tasks.
-
Make it inspiring but measurable.
Why it works:
A well-written mission statement prevents scope creep and ensures alignment across stakeholders.
