Jax Beard · Answer 1

E. Width

Explanation:

Mission statements are short descriptions of why an organization or company exists. It explains what it does, who he does it for and how special is he from others. A mission statement needs to have an appropriate width by defining what the company does for the customers, what the company does for it's employees and what the company does for its owners. A proper mission statement with width would have made Sears not lose sight of his mission.
