    A manager's mandate and mission

    Here are two terms that seem to define the same content. In fact, if you consult a dictionary, you'll find that :
    - Mandate means "Function, charge entrusted to someone to do such and such a thing on behalf of someone, of a group: To fulfill one's mandate".
    - Mission means "the responsibility given to someone to accomplish a defined task: to receive a delicate mission".
    - You'll have to look carefully to find another definition of the term "Mission" to get a different reading of it; it's the definition that corresponds to the field of religion. Indeed, Mission is defined here as "A high goal, a duty inherent in a function, a profession, an activity and the social role attributed to it: The journalist's mission is to inform. It is even referred to as "Divine delegation, given for a religious purpose".

    So how can the leaders of our organizations reach the top by working around these two concepts?

    Mandate and mission of a manager
    Here are two terms that seem to define the same content. Indeed when we refer to a dictionary, we discover that:
    - Mandate means "Function, responsibility entrusted to someone to do this or that thing in the name of someone, of a group: Fulfill their mandate".
    - Mission means "Charge given to someone to accomplish a defined task: Receive a delicate mission".
    - We must search carefully to arrive at another definition of the term "Mission" to have another reading; This is the definition that corresponds to the domain of religion. Indeed, the Mission is defined here as "A high goal, a duty inherent to a function, a profession, an activity and the social role attributed to it: The mission of the journalist is to inform. There is even talk of "Divine delegation, given for a religious purpose".
    So how can those in leadership positions in our organizations reach the top by working around these two concepts?
