By Dr. Anne S. Davis—I teach a Principles of Management to undergraduates in Business at the University of St. Thomas.\u00a0 In the course of my class, I focus on developing in my students the desire to be successful in whatever they choose.\u00a0 I prepare assignments to have them look inward and recognize their own personalities, gifts and talents.\u00a0 I frequently turn management discussions into \u201cwhat would you do in this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I reach the discussion about corporate vision and values, I assign a simple, yet provocative homework assignment.\u00a0 The student is to write their own personal vision statement and 3 to 5 values that guide them.\u00a0 After the assignment is turned in, I discuss the \u201cwhy\u201d of the vision and values.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Students find them useful to motivate themselves and keep themselves within the guard rails when they are tempted to follow the wrong path.\u00a0 As one student noted: \u201cit was such a simple task yet it has taken me so long to come up with something that I was happy with.\u00a0 It was a wonderful exercise that I will review whenever I feel stuck.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is a composite of some of the students\u2019 output.\u00a0 It is a great comfort to know that these are our next generation of citizens and leaders!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vision:<\/p>\n

I will connect, serve, learn and be a positive force for others.<\/p>\n

I will live each day as though it was my last day on earth.\u00a0 I will fill my life with happiness and bring happiness into other people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

I will be the person my children look up to with pride and be the one for love, comfort and understanding. \u00a0\u00a0I will be the friend known as caring and always be willing to listen with patience and empathy.<\/p>\n

I will earn respect for myself based upon recognition of my accomplishments and abilities.<\/p>\n

I will strive to make a difference in the world.<\/p>\n

I will embark on new adventures, take risks, explore the world, learn new ideas, and gain different perspectives.<\/p>\n

I will be the person that grabs opportunities.<\/p>\n

I will be a strong woman that can take care of myself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Values:<\/p>\n

Balance \u2013 Have a balance between work and personal life to enjoy life to the fullest.<\/p>\n

Curiosity \u2013 to always be hungry to learn more<\/p>\n

Nurture \u2013 help nurture those that want to grow, so that I can grow, too.<\/p>\n

Steadfast \u2013 stand firmly for my beliefs and my values that make me ME.<\/p>\n

Fairness \u2013 with everyone, no exceptions<\/p>\n

Selflessness \u2013 Always think about how others feel and think of others more than myself.<\/p>\n

Humility \u2013 realize that it\u2019s not all about me and I am not successful without others.<\/p>\n

Relationships \u2013 Recognize the value and grow in every relationship<\/p>\n

Honesty \u2013 speak with an open heart, for you can never get it wrong if it\u2019s the truth.<\/p>\n

Commitment \u2013 always fulfill a promise once made<\/p>\n

Perseverance \u2013 never give up even in the face of failure.<\/p>\n
