Hi,
Chronologically it is indeed the Vision that is present before the Mission is created.
Vision's are usually the brainchild of one person, the founder, the creator or the Venture Capitalist..in word a LEADER...They are not created, they form....
Missions are on the other hand Created, they are goals that will be met, they include tangibility and they include a path. Mission tells us the HOW and the WHY?
Vision tells us the WHAT and the WHERE?
regards,
Kenneth
