It shows the subjectivity and flexibility one has when choosing a mission and framing though. The mission could be "serve the best lunch lunch we can to good 'old souther white people" or more insidiously, to "... to real Americans." People have a amazing ability to self-rationalize and are going to do what they want to do. Setting boundaries on an organization's objectives is certainly a worthwhile thing to do, because coordination is hard and any alignment helps, but it is just going to reflect to consensus of the leadership regardless. |

If a founder of a lunch restaurant starts out by saying "hello everyone, I'm here to make the best lunches possible but only for southern white people" I suspect, given my experience with lunches on three continents and in 37 states in the US, that he is going to have a hard time finding people who would actually be able to make good lunches.
Which is the point.
This does two things: it focuses people on what the actual mission of their company is or should be, and it can expose the kinds of missions that are nuts, or counter-productive, or just plain bad.
