Senge discusses personal mastery as one of the five disciplines for a learning organization. You will have a personal mastery paper due Week Three. In your paper you will write a personal purpose statement (similar to an organizational mission statement), and a personal vision statement. People sometimes struggle with the difference between mission and vision in organizations. How would you distinguish these two? Can you provide examples from the literature or your own experience? 

Share any resources or thoughts that might help you and others understand and develop your purpose and vision. (Hint: The Covey websites have resources; youtube.com does, too.)
