Getting to know Biotech’s leadership teams will be critical as well as doing so will allow the Expert Foods consultants to help with the vetting of potential leaders. The new Infant Formula Director has asked you to help identify the types of leadership qualities the organization will need to have in place to help the new division align with the mission and vision of the organization as well as Melanie’s desire for a more sustainable future by being an environmentally and human friendly company. There are several elements that result from the planning stage, one of which is the development of long-term goals. Long-term goals are set • by the owners, leaders or upper management depending on the structure, size or type of organization. Long-term goals reflect the big-picture goals and objectives are directly related to the purpose and vision that the leaders and owners develop. In today’s changedominated business environment long-term goals are set to be accomplished in 2-3 years’ time as opposed to the previous century’s 5-10 years. Long-term goals are often created through planning and strategizing. The process begins with the vision and mission of the business. To understand the concepts of vision and mission and role of each in the planning process, you will take the role of the leader and formulate the vision and mission of an organization. With the addition of a new division and, more importantly, a new product line senior leadership has determined that the current Mission and Vision statements may not be as relevant as they once were. Max has tasked you as the team lead from Expert Foods Consultants to present a more relevant Mission and Vision statement to reflect Biotech’s growing presence but also its desire to be a leader in sustainability and green products. Current Company Vision: To help provide everyone with the healthiest life possible in the most natural of ways. Current Mission: To develop products that are safe, effective, affordable and natural with the customer’s health always their primary goal.

within Biotech. Numerous factors play into consideration by Mr. Bentley Hughes while
planning the future, to incorporate both short and long-term plans. Biotech retained its
