I believe I had suggested "purpose." I realize that's not much better
than goal/mission, but it's less corporate than "mission," and is more
focused on why we exist than what we think we've accomplished (as goal
and objective are), in my opinion.

Yes I recall that. For me this somehow sounds wrong - but again that may
be due to my non-native "ear".
Phil, what do you think about "purpose"?

To me, it's a very uninspiring word. NASA had a goal of landing a man on
the moon (http://history.nasa.gov/moondec.html). Its purpose was much
more
mundane.

Would "vision" be better? I realize this will sound to some people as
corporate as "mission," but there you go.
Sigh. Visions are defined as not achievable - that's the point of them.
Please feel free to write to JFK about his poor choice of words. The more I
consider it, the better "goal" is.
